Declare the contents accurately on the CN22 / CN23 label. South African Revenue Service (SARS) — Customs and Excise computes duty + VAT above the destination's de-minimis threshold. Keep purchase receipts available in case the consignee receives a clearance notice.
South African Post Office (SAPO) and SARS assess international parcels. VAT (15%) and customs duty apply to goods above ZAR 500. High-value items and commercial shipments require full customs entry. SAPO has had operational challenges — DHL and courier services are often preferred.
