Customs Guidance

Customs are governed by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) which operates 24/7, for passengers it’s a very short process through the terminal building, for cargo flights it is conducted at the aircraft. Using a local freight handler/forwarder would be beneficial.

For more information on customs in South Africa, please see the following link: 1.3 Customs Information. 

Storage Facilities

On pre-request and if available a hanger could be made available for short term storage.
