Customs Code

What is a Customs Code?

A customs code is a registration number for importers and exporters, used by SARS Customs to track trade activities.

Think of it like this…

It’s your licence plate for cross‑border trade.

Why does it matter?

  • Required for clearing goods through customs
  • Linked to your TCS and business details
  • Needed before you can import or export

Best practice

Apply via SARS eFiling and keep details updated.
