What ClearSA Monitors
ClearSA connects directly to SARS systems and gives you a live window into every shipment you’ve submitted for clearance.
Real-time SARS customs clearance status — Every shipment you manage appears in your dashboard with its current status: under review, awaiting documents, held for query, cleared, or released.
Document management — Upload and store all clearance documents in one place: commercial invoices, bills of lading, packing lists, SARS declarations, certificates of origin.
SARS submission tracking — Know when a submission has been received by SARS and when it’s been cleared. Track which documents SARS has flagged for review.

Who ClearSA Is Built For
The Customs Broker
You manage 20–50 active clearances at any time. ClearSA gives you a single live view of every active file. Your clients log in and see their own status in real time. You spend less time on status updates and more time on the strategic work that makes your business money.
The Regular Importer
You import 2–10 containers per month. ClearSA connects you directly to SARS status. You don’t wait on your broker. The moment your shipment clears, you know it.
The Freight Forwarder
You co-ordinate customs clearance as part of a wider logistics service. ClearSA integrates into your existing workflow. Your clients see everything in one place.
How ClearSA Works
Step 1: Connect your SARS credentials or broker relationship. We guide you through secure connection setup.
Step 2: All active shipments appear in your dashboard with real-time status. ClearSA queries SARS continuously and updates automatically.
Step 3: Receive alerts when status changes — email, SMS, or dashboard notification.
