Fast-Track Your SARS Customs Registration & Avoid Port Delays

Expanding your business into global markets or importing commercial stock requires strict compliance with SARS Customs & Excise and the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) under the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964.

Without an active Customs Client Code, shipments arriving at South African ports (sea, air, or land border posts) cannot clear customs (SAD 500 entry), leading to detained containers, severe supply chain disruptions, and costly daily storage or demurrage penalties.

As your dedicated Import & Export License Consultants, Famouz Consultants handles the complete, end-to-end statutory registration process—guaranteeing 100% compliant filings so your shipments move smoothly across borders.
