SARS Customs Import & Export License Registration
Clear commercial cargo through South African ports of entry without administrative delays, port holds, or demurrage penalties. Famouz Consultants provides turnkey registration services for SARS Customs Client Codes under the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964.
Without an active Customs Importer or Exporter Code, clearing agents cannot lodge Bills of Entry (SAD 500), causing cargo to be detained at land borders, sea ports, and air freight terminals. We manage your full compliance pack via the electronic SARS Registration, Licensing, and Accreditation (RLA) platform.
