Required documents when exporting used vehicles out of South Africa
Posted in Customs Regulations, tagged clearing and forwarding, import/export regulations, official forms on November 25, 2008| 5 Comments »
These are the required documents and official forms when exporting vehicles from Durban to the following countries: Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Please note that BLNS member countries like Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland may enjoy lower excise taxes and fees due to being part of a common customs union. Nevertheless, the same forms and documents are required.
Some countries like Mozambique require pre-shipment inspections by subcontracted service providers such as Intertek. Be sure to know your country’s procedure regarding this.
