The Customs Entry Form is a crucial document in South African international trade operations, required under the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964 and administered by the South African Revenue Service (SARS). This form must be completed for all commercial goods entering or leaving South Africa's borders, serving as the primary document for customs clearance, duty assessment, and trade statistics collection. The form captures essential information including the nature of goods, their value, origin, destination, and details of all parties involved in the transaction. It's particularly important as it forms the legal basis for customs declarations and any misrepresentation can result in significant penalties. The Customs Entry Form must be submitted along with supporting documentation such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin, and may require additional permits or certificates depending on the nature of the goods.
