Attention Customers:

SARS has updated the list of prohibited and restricted goods. It is crucial for all our customers to review this updated list to ensure compliance with the relevant authorities. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant issues, including the rejection of goods and additional courier charges.


Why Compliance Matters

Every country has specific regulations governing the import and export of goods. These rules are in place to ensure the safety, security, and economic stability of the region. As an importer, it is your responsibility to be aware of and adhere to these regulations.


Updated Prohibited and Restricted Goods List

Please take the time to carefully review the updated list of prohibited and restricted goods. This list includes items that are either banned entirely or require special permissions and documentation to be imported.


What You Need to Do

  1. Review the List: Familiarize yourself with the updated list to ensure that none of your items fall under the prohibited or restricted categories.

  2. Check Regulations: Verify the specific regulations for your goods with the relevant authorities in both the departure and destination countries.

  3. Documentation: Ensure you have all necessary documentation for items that require special permissions.

  4. Contact Us: If you have any doubts or need assistance, do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.


Consequences of Non-Compliance

Goods that do not comply with the updated regulations will be rejected. In such cases, the customer will be responsible for all associated charges. This includes the cost of returning the goods to the sender or any other additional handling fees.


Final Reminder

It is vital to stay informed and compliant with all regulations to avoid unnecessary costs and delays. Our team is here to help you navigate these requirements and ensure a smooth import process.



Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
