Why Use a Customs Consultant?
Customs consultants in South Africa frequently encounter importers who have difficulty understanding costs, meeting regulations, and paying cargo dues. Importers also struggle with misdeclaring goods, undervaluing goods, and providing false information on documents.
Some importers may overlook the complexity of customs procedures. Filling out forms for importing goods may seem easy to some people. However, they may not realize the complexities involved. These complexities include duty calculations, paperwork, and assigning correct tariff codes to items.
Businesses choose to work with licensed customs consultants to facilitate communication with customs authorities. These experts assist with communication and ensure they share all necessary information effectively with customs.
