HS code 6810.19 covers Concrete & cement articles (tiles, flagstones, blocks) — for example concrete roof tiles, paving flagstones, cement blocks. South Africa applies an indicative general customs duty of 15%, on top of which 15% import VAT is charged.
Portland cement itself (heading 2523) carries anti-dumping duty on some origins plus an NRCS compulsory specification — check it separately.
Worked example: landed cost on R100,000 of goods
| Customs value (CIF) | R100,000 |
| Customs duty (15%) | R15,000 |
| Import VAT (15% on ATV) | R18,750 |
| Estimated landed cost | R133,750 |
VAT is charged on the Added Tax Value (customs value + 10% upliftment for non-SACU imports + duties). Figures exclude clearing, freight and any anti-dumping/safeguard duty. For an exact, all-in figure use the Duty & VAT Calculator.
