On 18 March 2022, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, published a notice titled ‘Payment Procedures for Import and Export Permits under the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and European Union (EU) Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), Southern African Custom Union (SACU) and Mozambique (SACUM) and the United Kingdom (UK) EPA, the World Trade Organization Agreement (WTO) and the African Growth Opportunity Act Agreement (Agoa) for the Year 2022 Fees for the Quota Allocation of Import and Export Permits.’
A fee of R1 500 per permit will be payable for permit and replacement permits issued from the 1 April 2022. All application forms should be accompanied by proof of payment (bank deposit slip or cashier receipt). Payment must be made per application period and no payments should be made in advance for another period. There will be no refunds to applicants who pay more than the stipulated permit fee and those who submit incomplete application.
