Import Clearance & SACU Integration in Eswatini
As a founding member of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), Eswatini applies the common external tariff on imports outside the bloc. Revenue collected from external customs tariffs is pooled into the Common Revenue Pool and shared among member nations.
At major commercial border terminals like Ngwenya (Oshoek) and the Matsapha Dry Port (inland container depot), customs clearance is administered through ASYCUDA World, requiring automated declaration of CIF values, payment of 15% Import VAT, and submission of the SARS EDI clearance release when transiting via South African seaports.
