SARS Removal in Bond (RIB) Licensing Services

Transport uncleared imported goods, bonded cargo, and transit freight legally across South Africa and SADC borders. Under the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964, any road carrier or logistics operator moving bonded goods—where duties and VAT have not yet been paid—must be officially licensed with SARS Customs as a Remover of Goods in Bond (RIB / Client Type 4B6)
Moving uncleared cargo without a valid SARS RIB license is a severe customs offense resulting in immediate vehicle seizures, heavy financial penalties, and criminal liability. Famouz Consultants manages your full licensing application, document pre-audits, and SARS bond security submissions.
