Questions
What is an APN?
Since December 2023, any advance payment of R50,000 or more to a foreign supplier needs an Advance Payment Notification registered with SARS before your bank will process it.
Why do codes expire?
An APN code lapses if the payment is not made within 30 days. Need one urgently? Our per-code service is same-day.
CustomsDirect is a private consultancy and is not affiliated with SARS. SARS processing times are outside our control; our submission promises are ours and we keep them.
