• Go there to identify your rifle case and sign for it, if required
• Collect your normal luggage at the appropriate conveyer belt
• Proceed on the GREEN line through customs
• For passengers arriving in Terminal a1 or A2, please exit the arrivals hall and turn right. Look out for the SAP office. You will be met inside this office.
• Your firearm(s) and ammo will be checked against your pre-issued temporary import permit after which you will be free to leave

Please note that the procedure regarding your firearm at customs depends on the airline used. The speed in which your permit will be handled, depends upon the speed in which the rifle case is handled before arriving at the SA Police Office. Please be patient when waiting for your rifle case

Important Points to Remember:
• Ensure that your firearms arrive on the same flight as you do. This must be done with the airline company on departure.
• Contact your airline company for their regulations on the number of firearms allowed and packing of ammunition. Certain airlines require the ammo to be packed in a separate locked container.
• Your firearm/s may only be signed for by you and will not be released to your outfitter or professional hunter should it arrive on a separate flight. In this case, the firearm/s will be held by the SAPS until such time as you claim ownership in person.
• The temporary import permit serves as your firearm license in South Africa and enables you to buy ammunition in South Africa for the calibres noted on the permit.
• At all times while you are in possession of your firearms, you must have the temporary import permit on your person.
• When you are not using your firearm, it must be locked in a safe.
• In-Transit Permits are required for any person spending the night in South Africa while in-transit to a third country. The same pre-requisites apply as to obtain the normal Temporary Import permit.
• Check with your airline company on departure that your luggage and firearm(s) will be checked through to your final destination, when you are connecting to a third country on the same day.
• Should a firearm not be declared on arrival and a temporary import permit not issued, you will face severe penalties and possible arrest if detected.
