These results are indicative guidance compiled from public SARS and ITAC documents. They are not a tariff determination under Section 47(9) of the Customs & Excise Act, 1964. Anti-dumping and safeguard rates are producer-specific and change frequently between provisional and final. The importer remains solely responsible for correct tariff classification, and only a formal written determination from SARS is binding. Always verify against the current SARS Schedule 2 and the ITAC import-control list before committing to an order.
