The Invoice For Customs Purposes Only is a crucial document in South African international trade operations, specifically designed to meet customs declaration requirements without serving as a payment instrument. This document type is commonly used when goods need to be assigned a value for customs purposes, such as in intra-company transfers, temporary imports/exports, or when the commercial invoice doesn't reflect the true customs value. It must comply with South African Revenue Service (SARS) requirements and the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964, containing detailed information about the goods, their classification, valuation, and relevant party details. The document plays a vital role in ensuring accurate customs declarations while maintaining clear distinction from commercial invoices used for payment purposes.
