Durban port: self-checks before arrival clearance
Before clearance at Durban, check documents and the arrival process, then plan collection.
Key points
- No single pre-shipment scheme for non-road machinery; watch emission, noise and safety marking rules.
- Port operations and inland transport depend on rail and road capacity, so allow schedule float.
- This compiles public rules for pre-shipment checks; applicable categories, inspection bodies and documents are confirmed by the destination authority and the importer.
