Customs Rules for Travellers

In last week’s issue we advised of a Sars notice to amend 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 account for 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 take account of the implementation date at the following border posts: Golela (09 June 2012), Mahamba (16 June 2012), and Van Rooyenshek (16 June 2012).
