5. Concepts


All travellers arriving at South Africa’s ports of entry, whether by land, sea or air, are required to pass through immigration control before collecting their baggage. The South African Department of Home Affairs provides this service. Travellers then pass through customs control where their baggage maybe X-rayed or examined by customs officers. After passing through immigration control travellers collect their baggage. They then have a choice of two channels. By selecting the green channel, a traveller indicates that they have no goods to declare, in other words, they have no prohibited or restricted goods, and no goods in excess of the duty free allowances.
