The South African Customs Administration is responsible for inspecting and clearing all people and goods entering and exiting the borders of the country.
This includes the various sea, land, and airports, as well as four centralised processing centres that work to ensure the stability and health of the country.
The main priorities of any customs office is to oversee and manage the South African borders, to ensure that communities and industries in the country can thrive.
Any goods that are shipped into South Africa via a courier service should be accompanied by an original commercial invoice. The total of this commercial invoice will then be used to calculate the amounts for various customs taxes and duties.
Some of the charges that you can expect to be levied before your Shein order are released to the local logistics company, so that they can be delivered to your address are as follows:
- Clearance
- Disbursement fee
- Customs VAT
- Duties
The total of these fees is usually about 30 percent of your total order amount, which you can pay within three months, to have the shipment released from customs.
