Duty starts with classification
The tariff code, origin and applicable measures influence the rate. A similar-looking product can have a different treatment because of its material or use.
Import VAT has its own basis
The planning tool applies the configured South African method to the entered customs value and duty. Final treatment depends on confirmed rules and importer status.
Cash and accounting can differ
Recoverable import VAT may still require cash at import even when it is not ultimately an accounting cost. The signed quotation must state the treatment.
