One team, from the document to the release
Customs is where cargo most often waits. Our licensed team in Johannesburg and Cape Town prepares the entry early and follows it through, so the paperwork is ready when the cargo is.
Johannesburg and the inland gateway
Much of South Africa’s trade is consumed in Gauteng. Whether cargo arrives by air at OR Tambo or by sea and then inland, we plan the clearing and the delivery together so you get one landed cost.
See also our air freight into Johannesburg, the SARS clearing guide and the customs clearing service.
Questions we get
Do you clear air cargo at OR Tambo?
Yes. We prepare the entry before the flight lands so the cargo does not wait at the airport.
Can you clear cargo that arrives by sea?
Yes. Containers can be cleared at the coast or moved inland under bond and cleared in Johannesburg, depending on what suits you.
What do you need from me?
The commercial invoice, packing list, transport document (bill of lading or air waybill) and your importer details. We tell you if your product needs a permit.
