HS Codes Chapter 63 — Other Textile Articles
HS Chapter 63 covers other made-up textile articles — bed linen, curtains, towels, blankets, sacks and mosquito nets. 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 63 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 63 shipment is held at the port of entry.
JLog runs a Cape Town-based customs clearing service for Chapter 63 goods. JLog handles customs clearance — we prepare the SAD500 and clear on the same day the manifest cuts off. Whether you are importing a one-off sample or running a regular container programme, we keep the classification defensible, the duty correct and the warehouse door open.
