The Company was started in 1996 as N.C. International Trade Corporation by Leon Marais.
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
customs duty (import tax) management and tariff classification under the international Harmonized System (HS). Through Leon Marais we are authors of the
Jacobsens Tariff Guide to Classification, which is published by
LexisNexis Butterworths. The Guide to Classification has been published since 1997, and is used by leading customs clearing and forwarding agents (customs brokers) in the Southern African Customs Union (SACU).
