How a clearance moves

Four steps, in this order, every time.

The sequence is the same for a single pallet or a hundred containers. What changes is how early we can start — which is why we ask for documents before the vessel sails.

  1. Documents in

    Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and any permits. We check tariff codes and values before anything is lodged.

  2. Entry lodged via EDI

    Your SAD 500 goes straight to SARS electronically. Duties and VAT are calculated and you get a clear breakdown to approve.

  3. Assessment & release

    We handle stops, document requests and physical inspections directly with customs, port and terminal — you get updates, not surprises.

  4. Delivered

    Released cargo is collected and delivered by road, or moved into storage. Files are closed with a full audit trail for your records.

Specialism · Excise

Excise is where most clearing agents stop. It’s where we started.

Alcohol, tobacco, fuel and other excisable products carry a second layer of duty, permits and account reconciliation on top of ordinary customs. We are accredited for both customs and excise, and we work daily with bonded warehouses, DA 260 accounts and rebate provisions.

  • Excise duty accounts and periodic returns
  • Bonded warehouse entries, removals and re-warehousing
  • Rebate and refund applications under the Customs & Excise Act
  • Permit and licence liaison with SARS Excise

“When SARS queries an excise account, you want the agent who lodged it to pick up the phone. That is what we do.”— Nunso-Fast Logistics operations team

Why importers stay

Established, accredited, and still answering the phone.

A record SARS knows

We hold a proud and enviable record and reputation with the South African Revenue Service, built since 2006 on correct declarations and complete adherence to the Act. It shows in fewer stops and faster releases.

Integrated systems, human oversight

Entries move on our fully integrated customs and excise support systems through the EDI gateway. A trained clearing officer still checks every classification and value.

The same people, every shipment

You deal with the officer who knows your product and your history — not a ticket queue. Small consignments get the same attention as full vessels.
