The APN process ensures that traders notify SARS of their intention to apply to an authorised dealer for an advance foreign exchange payment for imported goods. This further prevents underpayment of customs duties and taxes, valuation fraud and illicit financial flows related to the importation or non-importation of goods following advance foreign exchange payments.<\/p>\n<p>With effect from the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> of December 2021, in terms of the published Rules under sections 59A and 120 of the Customs and Excise Act 91 of 1964 for Advance foreign exchange payments, importers have an obligation to notify SARS via eFiling of their intention to apply to an authorised dealer for an advance foreign exchange payment in respect of goods to be imported.
