Customs

Do I need an APN number for imports?

Answer:

Yes, if you plan to make an advance foreign exchange payment over R50,000 for importing goods into South Africa, you need an Advance Payment Notice (APN). You must register as an importer and use the SARS E-filing platform to apply for an APN. Also, inform your clearing agent about the APN so it can be referenced in the SAD500 customs declaration.
