In November 2024, the South African Revenue Service (Sars) introduced an electronic platform for the management of customs registration, licensing and accreditation (RLA) submissions by importers and traders.

It is described as “the new electronic platform for the management of customs registration/licensing applications implemented under the provisions of the Customs and Excise Act, no 64 of 1964”.

A company wanting to register as an importer/trader should capture its details on the RLA eFiling platform on sarsefiling.co.za/landing.

Once registered, Sars clients do not have to submit the DA 185 form and its supporting documents as the information will have been captured on the system.
