Do I need a separate import and export license?
Yes. SARS issues separate licenses for importers and exporters. If you do both, you'll need both. We handle the application for one or both simultaneously.
How long does it take to get an import/export license?
SARS typically processes customs registration within 5–15 business days of receiving a complete application. We ensure your application is correct from the start to avoid delays.
What documents do I need to apply?
You'll need your CIPC registration documents, SARS tax clearance, company bank details, and proof of address. We provide a full checklist when you engage us.
