The Illicit Trade Unit (ITU) of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) in Durban has clamped down on an importer of 20 containers of sugar that were declared as containing rice, which is duty free.
However, after verification and inspection of the identified containers it was established that the consignments were falsely declared in order to escape paying the Customs duties for the sugar.
