The Packing List And Commercial Invoice document package is a fundamental requirement for international trade operations in South Africa. These documents are mandated by the South African Revenue Service (SARS) and must comply with the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964, as well as international trade standards. The package serves multiple purposes: it declares the value of goods for customs purposes, provides detailed packaging information for logistics handling, supports payment processing, and serves as evidence of the commercial transaction. The Commercial Invoice portion includes financial details, while the Packing List provides physical characteristics of the shipment. These documents are particularly crucial for South African businesses engaged in import/export activities, as they form part of the required documentation for customs clearance and international trade compliance.
