The South African Revenue Service (Sars) on 29 September announced an increase in the rates of customs duty, except for the Southern African Development Community (SADC), on wheat and wheaten flour.
The rate of customs duty on tariff subheadings 1001.91 (Seed) and 1001.99 (Other) increased from 37.93c/kg to 75.24c/kg, and on tariff subheadings 1101.00.10 (Brown wheaten meal produced by the milling of whole grains (the bran, germ and endosperm) (excluding separated wheat bran, separated wheat germ or separated wheat semolina or endosperm)) and 1101.00.90 (other) from 56.90c/kg to 112.85c/kg.
The reasoning is contained in Itac Minute 10/2017.
