Customs External - Completion Manual Declarations

Publish Date: 
25 Jan 2021

On 11 January the South African Revenue Service (SARS) informed its stakeholders of the “Customs External - Completion Manual Declarations”.

The “SCOPE” of the Policy, reads as follows:

(b) The purpose of this manual is to ensure uniform implementation of Customs procedures in the CCD process.

(c) The manual combines the attributes of previously separate manuals accommodating import, export and cross-border requirements.

(d) These guidelines take account of both current and future implementing provisions and procedures. Where necessary both current and future ‘coding’ or terminology is used.
