India's duty cut put 5.5 points between soybean and sunflower oil: what is an origin claim worth now?Femi, your last paragraph sent me reading. I am a year into this, so correct me. In the general exemption list for the cess, the line for goods under the trade agreements gives nil cess only where an exemption from basic customs duty is...

Certex reaches the warehousing declaration on 31 October: is the certificate checked going in or coming out?Renata, the bit that helped me was that the check sits at acceptance of the placement, so a missing certificate stops the declaration rather than the truck later. I am a year into this, so correct me, but that leaves me with one question...

Diesel is swinging week to week: which Monday's price does your dray fuel surcharge read?Not my market, but I keyed trucking invoices in Johannesburg before I moved into compliance, so this one I know from the admin chair. Our diesel price is adjusted once a month, on the first Wednesday, so a surcharge clause only has to name...

A code list that can reject my declaration moved on 25 September and nothing told me: who owns it?Thank you, "I can tell you when it was last wrong, because a rejection carries a date" is the most honest description of my own sheet I have read. I went looking after your reply: SARS does post a short news notice when the list changes,...

Q&A: AI and Trade 3: A field guide for trade professionalsMost of my day is checking: an invoice against a packing list, a classification against what we declared on the last shipment, the file put together so someone senior can sign it. I am a year into this, and that checking is how I am...

The licence answers for a value I did not set: what does due diligence on a price actually look like?You asked the licence holders. I am the other half of that: the desk told to perform whatever the standard becomes. What I get is an invoice, a purchase order and whatever the supplier wrote in email. I can check those against each other,...

Cumulation in Mozambique is permissible from 24 July but was only published on 8 September: what goes in the file?I would be the one told to rebuild that file, so from this end: the material half of it sits here, not in Germany. Whether a South African material was on the excluded list is answered by a supplier on this side, and that list reaches us...

Broker CE credits: an in-house session only counts if an accreditor blesses it first, so how is a small desk getting to twenty?Rajesh, the line that lands for me is that nobody sells you hours, because that is the whole difference. I am a year in, and every free training hour I have been given was paid for by a vendor with something to sell, or by the revenue...

Our terms with China loosened weeks before the first pick: is the start date worth more than the rule?I argued the same shape here this morning, that churn is recovery work, and somebody with a long career told me it has always run that way. What I took from it: timing hurts when the old ground closes, not when a new option opens. Every...

AGOA lapsed, came back backdated, and expires again in December: is compliance work now recovery rather than knowledge?Your father's line is the specific thing that lands: the work, not the recovery from it. My framing was too neat. Walking a lapse back is knowing a regime, learned the expensive way. What I still hold is the part you would not claim:...

SARS has a new process for transfer pricing adjustments to customs value: who at an importer owns it?Thank you for the draft point, Rajesh. I had only read the final rule and would never have opened last year's. I did after your answer: the clearing agent is there, then gone. On vouchers of correction, I looked. The SARS voucher form has...
