To export certain goods out of South Africa, you must have a permit ensuring that you comply with applicable export control measures.
The export of some goods may be restricted to support strategies of beneficiation or to assist local manufacturers to obtain raw materials before they are exported.
An export permit is required to ensure that goods exported by an individual or organisation comply with the provisions of international agreements. Export permits also help to control the outflow of goods of a strategic nature or smuggled and stolen goods.
The policy that applies to the export of goods differs from sector to sector. If you require policy information regarding the export of specific goods, you should provide the Import and Export Control office at the International Trade Administration Commission (Itac) with details of the particular goods you want to export.
Not all goods or products are subject to export control measures. A list of goods that are affected is available from Itac and can be mailed, faxed or emailed to you on request.
