3 Summary South Africa has the second largest GDP in the entire Africa only next to Nigeria. It is the latest member of the prestigious BRICs group, who are bound to play much critical role in the global Arena. Non-oil imports of South Africa constituted 8 of its total imports of 201, which has declined at an average rate of 6% since The top five non-oil industries imported by value Heavy Machinery & Electronics, Building Materials, Chemicals & Polymers, Food Products and Consumer Durable. Saudi Arabia, at present occupies a marginal share of less than 1% in South Africa s non-oil imports which have been declining at an average rate of 10% since The Kingdom prominently supplies Chemical & Polymers, Minerals and Textiles to South Africa. This report looks into South Africa s non-oil imports in the last five years vis-à-vis the Kingdom s share in it. It also outlines the import potentials of the Kingdom in certain industries such as Heavy Machinery & Electronics, Building Materials, Chemicals & Polymers, Food Products and Consumer Durable.

4 1. Imports Overview South Africa, the southernmost sovereign nation in Africa is a well acknowledged regional player in Africa. External embargos and strong internal resistance led it to end Apartheid in 1996 thereby establishing it as a vibrant, plural democracy with a growing welldiversified, upper middle income economy with in two decades. And now it accounts for almost a quarter of Africa s GDP in PPP terms. Home to the Cape of good hope, South Africa is blessed with natural resources. Its hegemony in global diamond trade well known. It is also one of the major manufacturer of precious metals like gold, platinum and also a major exporter of elements like Vanadium, Chromite s which are used for Industrial purposes. With its economy growing at an average rate of slightly more than %, South Africa is touted to become an economic powerhouse and become a FDI magnet, based on its potential, Infrastructure, business friendly norms and foreign direct investments strategy. However high income inequality, high poverty rate, unemployment are some of the issues it needs to tackle. Figure 1 shows the distribution of South Africa s imports from 2011 to 201. Total imports of the country fell by an average rate of 6% during the said period. Imports of all the products, whether oil based or non-oil based witnessed a slump. Oil imports were hardly hit with declining every year at an average rate of 10%. Share of Chemical and Polymers have remained the same around 7% but that of non-oil, non-chemical & polymers have increased by % to almost three quarter of total imports at the expense of oil imports. in billion SAR -6% % China Germany Bn SAR % 6% 7% 12% 7% 6% % U.S.A Nigeria India Japan KSA Others Oil Chemicals & Polymers Others Figure 1: Imports profile of South Africa 1 Figure 1 also shows distribution of South Africa s major import partner s. China is the largest contributor with 1 share in South Africa s total imports followed by Germany and USA having a share of 12% and 7% respectively. The Kingdom had a decent share of % in South Africa s total import. South Africa currently does not have any trade agreement with GCC member nations giving KSA a competitive disadvantage in South African market.

5 2. Non-oil Imports South Africa primarily imports Heavy Machinery & Electronics, Automobiles, Building Materials and Chemicals and Polymers. Import substitution affected the demand of these products and led to a fall at an average rate of for the non-oil imports contracting from 09 billion SAR in 2011 to 29 billion SAR in 201 (Figure 2). in billion SAR Heavy Machinery & Electronics Automobiles Building Materials Chemicals & Polymers *Consumer Durables, Food Products, Packaging, Textiles, Pharmaceutical etc. Figure 2: Non-oil products imported by South Africa 1 Figure shows country wise breakup of South Africa s non-oil imports for 201.

14 . Importers Guidelines.1 Overview of Customs Proceduress Republic of South Africa is a part of Southern African Customs Union (SACU) a customs union of five countries of Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa and Swaziland, where the member states form a single customs territory, and tariffs and other trade barriers are eliminated on the trade for products originating in these countries. South African Revenue System (SARS) oversees the flow of goods and also levies various duties on goods entering into South Africa. To import goods into South Africa, the entity needs to register with the commissioner of SARS as an importer. In SACU region, import tariffs are levied at the first point of entry with a common external tariff for non-sacu members. Although South African control regime is considered liberal but there are certain goods for whom import permits are needed. The permit is given by the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC), a legislative body controlling foreign trade. The license is usually valid for a calendar year and only for the goods and country specified. It is non-transferable and to be only used by person issued. As per the legislation, goods once imported in South Africa have to be declared with in seven day for seven days for loose or break bulk cargo and 28 days in case of goods in a container depot. Goods if not declared within stipulated time frame are removed and detained in the state Warehouse. Post declaration of goods, they are due to be cleared by the customs. The custom department checks the documents produced for the declared goods and carries out good s examination if necessary. It asses the duty and VAT to be levied and collects them. The duty levied depends on the goods, which stood at an average of 8.22% for most preferred nations. Post duty, VAT is levied at a rate of 1. For certain goods, customs may require additional information and may also request samples. Customs may also detain goods for other Government departments. The relevant government department then ensures compliance with their applicable laws, regulations and rules..2 Resources and useful links South African Revenue systems (SARS) customs procedure overview: South African Revenue Systems (SARS) customs procedure guide: External%20Guide.pdf Import custom procedures in South Africa 1

By far, South Africa does not have any trade agreement with GCC countries.

Appendix 2: Estimated shipping cost from KSA to South Africa Market rate estimate for FCL (Full Container Load), 0 FT from major seaports in KSA to seaports in South Africa. A full container load (FCL) is an ISO standard container that is loaded and unloaded under the risk and account of one shipper and only one consignee. In practice, it means that the whole container is intended for one consignee. FCL container shipment tends to have lower freight rates than an equivalent weight of cargo in bulk. The FCL market rate estimates (0 FT) for exporting products through ocean from KSA to South Africa is listed as : Origin Port Destination Port Product Category King Abdul Aziz Port, Dammam Port of Cape town Consumer Electronics 8,60-9,6 King Abdul Aziz Port, Dammam Port of Cape town Bottled Beverages 7,877 8,707 King Abdul Aziz Port, Dammam Port of Cape town Construction Materials 9,00-10,00 King Abdul Aziz Port, Dammam Port of Cape town Chemicals 7,877 8,707 King Abdul Aziz Port, Dammam Port of Cape town Household Goods 9,268-10,2 Origin Port Destination Port Product Category Jeddah Islamic Port Port of Cape town Consumer Electronics 10, Jeddah Islamic Port Port of Cape town Agriculture (Fruits & Vegetables) 11,002 12,160 Jeddah Islamic Port Port of Cape town Construction Materials 11,976 1,27 Jeddah Islamic Port Port of Cape town Chemicals 9,92 10,977 Jeddah Islamic Port Port of Cape town Household Goods 11,68 12,91 1
