Clearing Mining Equipment Imports
Mining equipment ranges from a box of drill bits to a 100-tonne haul truck. The clearing has to suit both, and urgent spares often decide whether a mine keeps running.
Big machines
Large equipment usually travels as break-bulk or on flat-rack containers and is discharged at Durban's Maydon Wharf or at Richards Bay. Clearing is lined up with abnormal-load transport, escorts and route permits.
Spares and consumables
Wear parts, filters, drill steel and hydraulic components move fastest by air. Correct descriptions and part numbers on the invoice speed up classification.
Tariff codes
Machinery is classified by function, and many industrial machines carry low or no customs duty, while VAT still applies. Parts can fall under different headings from the machine, so we classify line by line.
Need a hand?
Send the product details to quotes@daigonsa.com or WhatsApp 068 058 2700, and we will check it before you ship.
Used equipment
Second-hand machinery normally needs an ITAC import permit, and SARS may want the machine cleaned of soil and plant material. Apply before shipping.
Exports and re-exports
Equipment sent abroad for repair, or leased to mines in neighbouring countries, can sometimes move under temporary export or rebate provisions. Ask us before it leaves.
Want Us to Check Your Shipment?
We review the invoice, tariff codes and permits before the goods leave the supplier, so there are no surprises at the port.
