Electronics & Electrical Equipment HS Codes — South Africa
Electronics and electrical equipment attract relatively low import duty in South Africa. Chapter 85 (electrical machinery, consumer electronics, sound equipment, and parts) carries 8% duty. Chapter 84 (computers, industrial machinery, and mechanical appliances) is set at 2% — making it one of the lowest-duty chapters in Schedule 1. Both chapters attract 15% import VAT on the Added Tax Value. HS classification is critical: a consumer device and an industrial component may share similar descriptions but carry different codes and rates.
