Supply chain alerts for SA importers

SARS tariff changes, gazette notices, port congestion, border closures — the events that move money. Delivered to your inbox or WhatsApp the moment they happen.

What you'll receive

Common questions

How often will I get emails?

The free tier sends one weekly digest plus same-day notes only for high-impact events in your chosen categories (SARS Schedule 1 amendments, gazetted duty changes, major port disruptions). On average, expect 1–3 emails per week. Pro adds instant WhatsApp, and you control the categories there too.

Can I choose which categories I receive?

Yes — tick them on the form above, or toggle them any time in your account settings: regulatory & SARS, port events, general trade news, and new-tool announcements, each independently. The weekly digest always covers everything in one email.

What if I want to stop?

Every email and WhatsApp message includes a one-click unsubscribe. We honour it immediately. POPIA s23 also gives you the right to request deletion of every record we hold — email [email protected] and we'll do it within 10 business days.
