FURNISHING OF A SECONDARY HOME,
RE-IMPORTATION OF HOUSEHOLD AND PERSONAL EFFECTS & HOUSEHOLD GOODS
IMPORTED BY VISITORS
FURNISHING OF A SECONDARY HOME
There is no concession to import any household or personal
effects for furnishing a secondary home in South Africa. Full duty and
VAT will be payable. As a guide, the Customs duty on wood furniture is
approximately 20%, plus 14% Value Added Tax.
RE-IMPORTATION OF HOUSEHOLD AND PERSONAL EFFECTS
Household and personal effects exported from South Africa
will be allowed re-entry, free of Customs duty and VAT, provided it can
be proved that the goods were originally exported from the Republic. Proof
of such export (the export bill of entry and the transport documents,
i.e. bill of lading) must be furnished to the Controller of Customs &
Excise at the port of re-entry of the goods. Only if the goods are adequately
described on the documents and can be identified beyond all doubt as the
goods, which originally left the country, will the application for a rebate
of the duties due be considered.
HOUSEHOLD GOODS IMPORTED BY VISITORS
Please refer to the section on Duty
Free Allowance.
