Every business moves goods differently. Mix and match any of the seven services, pay a deposit and settle the balance on Promise-to-Pay, or simply buy a single service on its own. Tell us what you're moving and we'll recommend the right combination.
The right licence or permit means your cargo clears customs and reaches your buyer on schedule.
An APN number in place means your bank and SARS approve payment to overseas suppliers without hold-ups.
EUR1, SADC and trade agreement registrations unlock lower duties and make you more competitive abroad.
01
Share the goods, route and destination so we can identify which licences and certificates apply.
02
We confirm exactly what's needed for your product, HS code and destination market.
03
We prepare and file your applications with the right authorities and track them to completion.
04
You get your certificate or permit, and your goods move on time.
Most of our compliance services can be started with a small deposit, with the balance settled on Promise-to-Pay. This means you don't need the full fee upfront to get your application moving.
Promise-to-Pay is a simple, documented commitment to settle the balance once your service is delivered or your certificate is issued. It's a practical way for SMEs to manage cash flow while keeping compliance on track. Where a fixed deposit figure applies, our team will confirm it when you build your package.
Not always. Requirements depend on the goods, their HS code and value, and the destination market. We check your specific shipment and confirm whether a licence or permit is needed before you commit to anything.
An import licence is your general registration to import goods into South Africa. An ITAC permit is a specific permission for certain controlled goods — like second-hand items — issued by the International Trade Administration Commission.
APN numbers are generally processed quickly once the required details and documentation are in order. We prepare everything correctly the first time to avoid delays with your bank or SARS.
Yes. Every service can be bought individually, or combined into a custom package. Most clients build a package, but a single service is perfectly fine.
Promise-to-Pay is a documented commitment to settle the balance of your fee once your service is delivered or your certificate is issued. It lets you start your application with a deposit while managing your cash flow.
Tell us what you're moving and build a compliance package that fits your budget. Deposit and Promise-to-Pay available.
