THE EXPERT BEHIND CUSTOMSDIRECT
Mark Boucher has spent 35 years on every side of customs.
Including ten years inside SARS itself. When your paperwork is done by someone who used to approve it, it tends to get approved.
Durban harbour
Mark started out servicing life rafts on ships in Durban. Someone told him to go talk to customs. He did.
Inside SARS customs
A decade in the system: how applications are judged, how goods get stopped, how disputes really get decided.
Clearing and forwarding
Years in the industry moving real cargo for real businesses, on the receiving end of the rules he used to enforce.
Shepstone and Wylie attorneys
Customs work inside one of South Africa's leading maritime law firms: appeals, disputes and determinations with real money at stake.
His own practice
Around 200 clients served and at least R50 million recovered from SARS through appeals, determinations and duty reviews.
The way Mark works
"I only want to work honestly and I only give honest opinions." Mark refuses work for anyone trying to under-declare, mis-describe or defraud the system. If your application should not be approved, he will tell you straight and you will not pay for it.
