Morning, I just imported some new gear and it arrived hear in South Africa, Checked on www.EMS.SAPO.co.za and tracked my package. It was under customs clearance for a few days. I then went to the International Mail center near the Airport on the 27/12/2012, with my invoice and payment receipt. They cleared my goods then and there. I had to take cash for import taxes as they do not have a card facility. Thought I would add this to the post, maybe someone can benefit from it. Cheers Steve
