HS Codes Chapter 02 — Meat & Offal
HS Chapter 02 covers meat and edible meat offal — fresh and frozen beef, lamb, pork, poultry and offal. 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 02 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 02 shipment is held at the port of entry. Every consignment needs a DALRRD red-meat/poultry import permit and a VI1 health certificate; mismatched tariff headings trigger SARS stops.
Many Chapter 02 sub-headings carry ITAC-administered rebates or preferential duty under AGOA, SADC, EFTA, Mercosur and the UK EPA. Claiming them correctly requires a valid certificate of origin and a matched invoice value.
JLog coordinates customs clearance for Chapter 02 goods moving through Cape Town. We prepare the SAD500, manage the submission to SARS, and support any ITAC or DAFF permitting your consignment requires. Whether you are importing a one-off sample or running a regular container programme, we handle the paperwork so your consignment keeps moving.
