Anti-dumping duties in South Africa

The tariff codes that carry anti-dumping, countervailing or safeguard duty — grouped by where the goods come from.

Why this catches people out. Anti-dumping duty is charged on top of ordinary customs duty and VAT, and it can be far larger than both — rates above 100% are not unusual. It is also usually producer-specific, so two factories in the same country can attract completely different rates. That combination is what turns a costed order into a loss: the landed-cost model was right about the duty and knew nothing about the measure.

Common questions

What is anti-dumping duty?

An extra customs duty ITAC imposes on goods sold into South Africa below their normal value in the exporting country. It is charged on top of ordinary customs duty and VAT, and it is usually producer-specific.

How do I know if my supplier is affected?

Measures name specific producers or exporters. Check the tariff code first, then confirm your supplier against the current SARS Schedule 2 before ordering — a measure on one factory may not apply to another in the same country.

How often do these change?

Frequently — measures are imposed, extended, reviewed and allowed to lapse by Government Gazette throughout the year.

Data current as of 2026-07-17. This is indicative guidance compiled from published SARS and ITAC sources, not a tariff determination under s47(9) of the Customs and Excise Act. Always verify against the current SARS Schedule 2 and ITAC notices before you commit to an order.
