The challenge
A South African manufacturer importing speciality industrial components had been using a generic HS code for years. The previous broker never reviewed it. The classification was costing them roughly 6% more duty than the correct one allowed.
Our approach
- ›Full tariff audit on the last 24 months of imports
- ›Technical product review with the manufacturer's engineering team
- ›Reclassification submitted and validated with SARS
- ›Retrospective rebate claim filed for prior overpayments
The result
R3.2M projected annual saving in duty going forward
R6.8M rebate recovered from prior overpayments
Compliance documentation in place for any SARS audit
Quarterly tariff review now part of the operating rhythm
"We assumed our broker had checked. They hadn't. The first thing AK did was check."— CFO, Industrial Manufacturer
