HS Codes Chapter 75 — Nickel
HS Chapter 75 covers nickel and articles thereof — nickel metal, nickel alloys, nickel wire and nickel foil. For South African importers and exporters clearing through SARS, this chapter sits at the heart of everyday customs work at OR Tambo, Cape Town Container Terminal and Durban Harbour.
Every consignment under Chapter 75 must be declared on a SAD500 using the correct 8-digit tariff heading. The duty rate, rebates and any import permits all follow from that classification. A wrong tariff heading is the single most common reason a Chapter 75 shipment is held at the port of entry.
JLog coordinates customs clearance for Chapter 75 goods moving through Cape Town. We prepare the SAD500, manage the submission to SARS, and keep your classification defensible and your duty correct. Whether you are importing a one-off sample or running a regular container programme, we handle the paperwork so your consignment keeps moving.
