WHAT DO WE DO?
We are obsessive when it comes to customs and believe this is the key to managing the logistics chain. This optimizes efficiencies through the process and offers quicker turnaround times. Whilst South African customs can be aggravating and bureaucratic, we take the hassle away and simplify this for all import and exports you may have. PDK Customs Clearing Services is an accredited customs clearing agent with licenses at all major air and seaports throughout South Africa.
Airports, seaports, and land ports of a country are its entry and exit points-people and cargo move in and out of a country through these gateways. Typically, while the immigration department of a government keeps track of passenger movement through these entry-exit points, the Customs department monitors goods coming in and going out of these ports.
All the goods that are imported or exported have to be declared to the customs. To import goods, the specified customs duty has to be paid to the customs department to obtain the release of the goods. Until this payment is made and the customs release goods, it is held in storage by the customs department. The storage area is known as the Customs Bonded area.
