PREPARING YOUR PARCEL FOR SHIPMENT
Make sure that your parcel is packaged safely and securely before sending it off. Parcels travelling from the UK to South Africa will cover some serious mileage, so you’ll want to be sure that your parcel is packed properly. If you’re unsure how to do this correctly, follow our straightforward packaging guide.
Make sure to fill out your address accurately to ensure that your parcel arrives at the correct place. Once you have filled out your address, we will provide you with a print-at-home label. Please make sure that this label is firmly stuck to your parcel and is in a visible position. It’s always a good idea to tuck a return address with a phone number into your parcel just in case there are any problems along the way.
WHICH ITEMS CAN I SEND TO SOUTH AFRICA?
South Africa has strict import restrictions in place to prevent any prohibited goods entering the country. It’s always worth doing some research before you prepare your parcel for shipment, to ensure that your parcel will be able to enter the country without any problems.
Prohibited items include but are not limited to:
- Fireworks and explosives;
- Illicit substances;
- Copyrighted or unlicensed goods;
- Ammunition
If you’d like to double-check that your item is safe to ship, contact South Africa Customs on 0800 00 7277 or visit their website.
ARE THERE ANY CUSTOM RESTRICTIONS WHEN SHIPPING TO SOUTH AFRICA?
South Africa has its own customs regulations with set taxes and duties. We will need to know the approximate value of your parcel along with its contents so that the correct duties and taxes can be applied.
This information will be entered when we create the shipment data, removing the need for customs invoices completely and allowing customs to start the clearance process as soon as possible.
HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO SEND MY PARCEL TO SOUTH AFRICA?
The cost of shipment will depend on the size and weight of your parcel. To get a cost estimate, please provide us with the dimensions of your parcel using our free instant quote generator.
