Nearly 39,000 foreign vehicles registered on South Africa's new traveller declaration system

Nearly 39,000 foreign vehicles are registered on South Africa's new digital Traveller Declaration System. As of June 1, 2026, all foreign vehicles entering or leaving South Africa must be declared on the SARS system. This modernizes border controls and streamlines trade and travel. The system requires a Temporary Import Permit (TIP) for foreign vehicles, valid for up to six months, with no fee for declaration or permit issuance.
