Before setting up N.C. International Trade Corporation, Leon Marais was an Assistant Director at the South African Customs Department (currently the South African Revenue Service (SARS)).
In addition to providing our clients with updated import/export information, we also assist our clients to negotiate with Government Departments in Southern Africa, and to dislove disputes they may have with the authorities.
We specialise in
