Customs Weekly List of Unentered Goods now available

The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has made the latest Customs Weekly List of Unentered Goods publicly available, as announced on 6 July 2026. This list enumerates goods that have not yet been entered into the customs system, providing crucial information for importers, exporters, and customs brokers who require up‑to‑date details on detained or pending shipments. The publication serves several purposes: it assists in the verification of cargo status, facilitates the planning of storage and logistics for state‑owned warehouses, and supports compliance with customs regulations by informing stakeholders of items that remain under customs control. Each entry in the weekly list includes details such as the item description, quantity, customs reference number, and the port or location where the goods are currently held. The list is accessible through the official SARS website, where users can download the PDF document or view it directly online. SARS also encourages stakeholders to report any discrepancies or errors they may discover, ensuring the accuracy of the data. By maintaining a regularly updated weekly list, SARS enhances transparency in customs operations, supports efficient supply‑chain management, and helps prevent illicit trade activities. The service is part of broader initiatives to modernise customs processes and provide clearer guidance to all parties engaged in international trade.
