The above information may also be sourced directly from the manufacturer, if necessary.

 

4.3 In order to assist ITAC with the sound administration and proper adjudication of the export permit system, ITAC may from time to time and when circumstances warrant, require additional documentation/information in order to, inter alia, make an informed decision on an application for an export permit.

 

4.4 The port of export and the foreign acquirer’s details and country of destination details must be provided to ITAC with each application. A maximum of three destination countries may be applied for. An export permit will only be issued after such details are provided.

4.5 Subject Products authorised for export by way of an ITAC export permit must be containerised and sealed on the exporter’s registered and licenced premises as declared to ITAC, after receipt of a valid ITAC export permit in which the Subject Products are clearly described. Subject Products destined for export may not be containerised on any other premises not declared to ITAC in the application. Loaded and sealed containers for export must be conveyed from the exporter’s registered and licenced premises as declared to ITAC, directly to the port of export mentioned on the export permit.
