IMPORT RESTRICTIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA

Information Supplied by the South African Government

The South African import control regulations were amended by GovernmentNotice No. R.1328 on 26 July 1972, and the CONTRACTING PARTIES have been informedof the essence of the changes (see C/M/79 and L/3730/Add.1). The South AfricanGovernment has now supplied the attached lists of products falling within thedifferent licensing categories under the amended regulations. The brief descriptiongiven below of the import control system showing the treatment accorded to thevarious categories of products is based on information previously supplied by theSouth African authorities.

1. The import restrictions of the Republic of South Africa are applied pursuant tothe powers conferred on the Minister of Economic Affairs by Section 2(1) of the Importand Export Control Act No. 45 of 1963. This provides that the Minister may, wheneverhe deems it necessary or expedient in the public interest, by notice in the GovernmentGazette, prohibit, restrict or regulate imports into or exports from the Republic ofSouth Africa.

2. Only one type of import permit, valid for imports from all sources, is issued inrespect of all imported goods subject to import permit. The issue of an import permitcarries with it the assurance that the foreign exchange to effect the importation inquestion will automatically be made available by the commercial banks againstpresentation by the importer of the appropriate shipping documents.

3. The South African import policy distinguishes generally between the followingbroad categories of imports:

(a) Goods which may be imported without an import permit (Annex A);

(b) goods which may be imported only under permit and for which quotas aredetermined from time to time (Annex B); and

(c) goods which may be imported only under permit and for which specific permitsauthorizing the importation of these goods individually are issued (Annex C).
