SARS mandates that any person or business involved in importing or exporting must register for a customs code. Without this import/export license, your goods risk being seized, leading to storage fees and penalties until compliance is achieved.
Tax Leaders assists importers, exporters, customs clearing agents, and transporters in applying for Customs RLA (Licensing, Registrations, and Accreditations), ensuring a smooth and compliant process.
Each import and export service you are registered for needs to be transferred separately. If you are registered as an importer, exporter, and SADC exporter, you will need to complete three separate registrations.

Frequently asked questions about our customs registration services in South Africa
Any individual or business involved in importing or exporting goods into or out of South Africa needs to register for customs with SARS. This includes those whose import/export activities exceed specific value thresholds, resellers, frequent traders, and those handling international trade payments.
To apply for a customs registration license, you need to complete the relevant application forms available on the SARS website, provide necessary documentation (such as business registration details and financial records), and submit these to SARS for approval.
Documents typically required include a completed application form, proof of business registration, financial statements, identification documents, and any other documents specified by SARS to verify the nature and scope of your trading activities.
Importing or exporting goods without a valid customs registration license can result in the seizure of goods, storage fees, fines, and other penalties imposed by SARS. It is crucial to obtain the necessary license to avoid these legal and financial repercussions.
The processing time for a customs registration license can vary. Typically, it takes a few weeks from the time of application submission, depending on the completeness of your documentation and any additional verification required by SARS. It’s advisable to apply well in advance of your planned import/export activities.
