Questions

How long until I am licensed?

We submit within 24 hours of receiving your complete documents. SARS itself typically takes a few working days. Around 90% of applications are approved first time.

Import, export or both?

If you only buy from overseas, import only. If you only sell overseas, export only. If you do or plan both, the combined option costs less than adding the second one later.

What if SARS rejects it?

We fix and resubmit free. If we cannot get you approved, you get 100% of your money back.
