A Veterinary Certificate is required from the origin country. The Certificate must be presented to Customs at least 4 days prior to the animal’s arrival in South Africa. It takes approximately 6 working days to clear. Quarantine is not always necessary, and the animal will be released if the State Veterinary Surgeon is satisfied with the condition of the animal.
Biddulphs’ Inbound Controller will manage the movement of your consignment from arrival at the port of delivery to your new residence. We will guide you through the S A Customs requirements and handle the actual clearance through Customs for you. The delivery to your residence will be done by our own international team.
Shipping documents should be forwarded to the destination branch which will handle the customs clearance and delivery, and should be received a minimum of 10 days before the vessel docks. The required documents are:
