Sars announced on 18 October 2013 the deletion of tariff subheading 3921.90.05 (Laminates of phenolic resins with a basis of paper or textile fibre, thermosetting); and the insertion of tariff subheading 3921.90.07 (Laminates of phenolic resins with a basis of paper, thermosetting) and tariff subheading 3921.90.09 (Laminates of phenolic resins with a basis of textile fibre, thermosetting). All the rates of customs duty are free, with the exception of the “General” rate of customs duty on tariff subheading 3921.90.09, which is set at 10% ad valorem. What can you deduct from the tariff amendment? The 8-digit tariff subheadings indicate that it is a South African-specific tariff subheading, and the 10% ad valorem indicates that there is domestic manufacture either within South Africa or the other Southern African Customs Union (Sacu) member countries. The rates of duties are effective from 18 October 2013.
