Import tariff

On 8 July 2016, the South African Revenue Service (SARS) partially increased the import tariffs on certain fruit not containing any added sugar or sweetening from 5% to 20%. The following HS code subheadings are subject to this import tariff increase: 0811.10.10, 0811.10.90, 0811.20.10, 0811.20.90 and 0811.90.85.
