Custom Steel-Wood Display Racks Import Guide for South Africa

Key Import Guidelines (Simplified Version)

Ⅰ. HS Code

Steel-wood display racks, full-metal shelves and wooden showcases correspond to different HS codes, determined by material ratio and product structure, which directly define applicable tariffs and supervision terms. Ever Glory can provide detailed product material specifications for reference, while the final HS code is subject to local customs declaration confirmation.

Ⅱ. Import Duty

There is no fixed unified tax rate. Import duty is determined by the product HS code and the latest South African customs tariff schedule, generally calculated based on CIF value. Buyers are advised to confirm and estimate relevant costs in advance.

Ⅲ. Import VAT

Import VAT is levied on goods imported into South Africa. The taxable base covers product value, freight, insurance and applicable import duty. Retail merchants can confirm subsequent deduction policies according to their own tax qualification.

Ⅳ. Shipping & Logistics

Goods are mainly shipped to major South African ports including Durban and Cape Town. FCL is suitable for bulk orders, while LCL is available for small trial orders. Leveraging superior geographical advantages, Ever Glory optimizes container loading plans to reduce cross-border logistics costs.

Ⅴ. CBM Measurement

CBM is the core measurement for LCL freight calculation. Our custom display racks adopt KD knockdown structure, which greatly reduces container volume and sea freight. We provide accurate CBM calculation for all orders to support buyers’ budget planning.
