Frequently asked questions
How often are these ZAR exchange rates updated?
The South African Rand exchange rates on this page are refreshed every 5 minutes from a free open exchange-rate feed. They are indicative mid-market rates — your bank or forex provider will add a margin and fees, so the rate you transact at will differ slightly.
Which exchange rate should I use for a SARS customs declaration?
For customs valuation, SARS requires the official weekly exchange rate published in the Government Gazette for the date of shipment, not the live spot rate. Use these live rates for planning and quoting only, and confirm the gazetted rate with your clearing agent before lodging a Bill of Entry.
