These are the same tools we run on TradeCaravan, packaged so they work inside your page. They are useful to anyone whose readers import into South Africa — freight forwarders, clearing agents, industry newsletters, chambers of commerce and trade blogs. All we ask is that you keep the attribution link inside the widget.
Import Duty & VAT Calculator
Works out customs value, duty, VAT on the SARS added tax value, port charges and total landed cost for a South African import.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account or an API key?
No. The widgets are free and public — copy the HTML and paste it into your page. There is nothing to sign up for and no key to manage.
Can I use these on a commercial site?
Yes, including on the site of a freight forwarder, clearing agent or industry publication. The only condition is that you keep the TradeCaravan attribution link that ships inside the widget.
Can I match my site's dark theme?
Yes — add ?theme=dark to the widget URL and it renders on a dark background.
Using one of these? We'd like to know — get in touch. Duty figures are indicative and port status is a planning aid; both carry their own caveats inside the widget.
