Documents Required:
All shipments require a packing list or inventory, if you have opted for a packing service our crew will complete this documentation for you. However if you are shipping self packed boxes then please provide us with a content list for each box. The inventory does not have to list every individual item just a brief description of the contents will be fine.
Example:
1. Box – Clothing and Shoes
2. Box – Books, Dvd’s
3. Box – Computer Parts
South African customs authorities require that goods are cleared on a P.1.160. and also a DA304, returning residents to South Africa require a certified “Returning Resident Affidavit” and also a copy of passport.
Immigrants that are shipping personal effects to South Africa are required to produce their passports and residence, work permit.
