Product Description
Before you can export goods commercially from South Africa you must register with SARS Customs as an exporter and receive a customs client number, often called an export code. We check your company documents and SARS registered representative, complete the DA 185 exporter registration, submit it on SARS eFiling and follow it up until your customs client number is issued. SARS does not charge for this registration. Some controlled goods also need an export permit from ITAC; that is a separate application and is not part of this service.
