On 23 January 2024, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) informed that the facility codes used in Box 30 on the Customs Clearance Declaration (CCD) have been updated to include the details of the new approved container depot – Grindrod Logistics (Pty) Ltd in Gqeberha.
This enables Customs to transmit electronic messages to these facilities communicating the status of the consignment.
If the applicable facility codes listed in “SC-CF-19-A02” is not inserted in Box 30 on the CCD, the CCD will be rejected by Customs.
The external annexure can be accessed in “SC-CF-19-A02 – Facility Code List – External Annexure”, which is accessible at:
