Why Not To Use A Courier Company

 


Courier Shipments – WARNING


THE RISK OF USING A COURIER COMPANY & NOT A RECOMMENDED OPTION


What has been happening with Courier Shipments in SOUTH AFRICA:

  1. All courier shipments have to be processed by Customs in JHB
  2. Exhibitors send their shipments will a value below R250 (US$25)
  3. The goods get cleared under Section 38
  4. Customs Stop the shipment for Customs Exam
  5. The shipment gets failed & Customs request a price list from the Exhibitor
  6. By this stage the show / event is 1 - 2 days away !!
  7. The price list gets presented to Customs
  8. Customs request a new invoice & FULL duties to be brought to account !!
  9. As the Exhibitor is not registered as an Importer, Global Events Management and/or it's agent have to grant permission to use our details for clearance
  10. The Exhibitor is fined R1500 - R2000 (US$200) for under-declaring the value of their goods & they have
    to pay FULL duties, based on their price list.
  11. By this time, the event has already started.
  12. Global Events Management and/or it's agent spend hours on the phone to Customs, and often, if we are not fast enough, then the Exhibitor looks at us, as being inefficient !!
  13. NOTE - Customs are stopping more & more courier shipments, for supplier under-declaring their goods. Remember - the Custom Controller's get a bonus for every shipment that is under-declared !!
  14. Please note -  if Global Events Management and/or it's agent are to get involved in sorting out the Exhibitor's problem with Customs, our cost will be US$500, and it will be cash up front, and no
    guarantees, that the shipment will make the conference !
