Hi Thanks for the insight, can you help with these questions:

How do the Customs guys get in touch with you?
Do they simply call/mail you - based on what info? how did they get your contact info?

How do you submit the invoices early and to whom?

Thanks for this video and sharing your experience. I have a question though, and it might be a dumb one. How does VAT work when it comes to importing and selling the actual product to a customer? Does this mean the price will be influenced by double VAT... Im a bit lost on this point and cant find anything online that explains in clearly.

Hi
I was reading online from SARS saying that importing anything from overseas to SA (wether souther African or foreigner) one need to be registered as importer.
What I don’t understand is as if I want to import, say an iPhone for my personal use, should I register myself as an importer and have a registered broker? Is that what I understood?

You mention in the video that one can import only 4 times per year, and no more than R50 000 using your own personal ID number. would personal purchases on websites such as Shein count towards those 4?

So, finding a shipping agent 🤔 on alibaba is better?

[TamiaMncube]

So even if you have an import license you still pay customs
