Introduction

All exporters need to register with the South African Revenue Services (SARS). In fact, you will actually register as an exporter with Customs and Excise; a division of SARS. The process is really not very difficult, but SARS/Customs and Excise have unfortunately managed to complicate the process with the use of a multitude of interconnected forms that you need to complete for different requirements, combined with the use of a somewhat confusing numbering system, and a website that does not make the process any easier.

ExportHelp will try and make this process easier for you to follow. Really there are six different registration options:

Exporter registration alternatives

1. General registration as an exporter

If you intend to export goods even only occasionally or once off, you will need to register as an exporter. Individuals, sole proprietors, companies, closed corporations and trusts can all register as exporters. When you register, you will be issued with a customs client number and an exporter registration number.

If you simply want to register as an exporter then you need to complete two forms. These two forms are:

  1. Form DA 185 - Application Form for Registration Licensing of Customs and Excise Clients
  2. Form DA 185.4A2 - Registration Client Type 4A2 - Exporter (this is an annexure to form DA 185 and UNLESS you plan to register for one of the trade agreements mentioned below, you can ignore Sections A, B and C of this form)

    Shipped out of Texas/Exports

    Occasional exporters meaningDo I collect tax on items I ship out of the country (export)?

    Occasional Exporting

    You do not have to collect Texas tax on items that you export, but you must keep records to prove export.

    The Comptroller’s office will accept any of the following documentation as proof:

    Occasional And Perennial Exporters

    • a licensed U.S. customs broker export certification;
    • import documents issued by a foreign country;
    • a bill of lading issued by a licensed and certificated carrier showing the retailer as shipper and a delivery point outside of the United States; or
    • an original airway, ocean or railroad bill of lading with freight forwarder's receipt.
    If my customer picks up the item in Texas but then takes it to another country, do I collect tax on that sale?

    Occasional Exporters Meaning

    Yes. Texas sales tax is due when your customer picks up or takes delivery of a taxable item in Texas.

    You can refund the tax collected to your customer if they give you acceptable proof of export certifying that the merchandise was taken outside the country. You must keep a copy of the export certification for four years as proof that the refund of sales tax was for an exported item.
