Customs Rules for Travellers

In last week’s issue we advised of a Sars notice to amendment to the Rules to the Customs and Excise Act (Sections 15 and 120), and forms relating to the Traveller Card (TC-01) and the Traveller Declaration (TRD1). It is important to take account of Rule 15.01(a)(ii) which stipulates that a traveller may only use the forms TC-01 and/or TRD1 for declaring goods or vehicles required to be declared on these forms and places and from the date specified for each place. Due to implementation date, it is important to note the implementation date at the following border posts, i.e. Kopfontein (12 May 2012), Groblersbrug (12 May 2012), Vioolsdrift (19 May 2012), and Nakop (19 May 2012).
