Answer 1

There are various divisions within the South African government that enforce the Liquor Products Act of 1989, which concerns the import and export of liquor products.  The Directorate of Plant Health Quality is the main regulator, while other aspects related to importation are handled by the Department of Trade and Industry (antidumping, security reasons, etc.) as well as the Department of Health (food safety).  

An Import Certificate serves as “preliminary approval” for importing specific liquor products (bulk or bottled).  The application for this certificate must be accompanied by a sample consisting “of at least 750 ml of the product in question,” or in the case of a bottled import, “the sample must be submitted in the labeled container in which it will be sold…”  This sample must be delivered to the office of the Liquor Products division, located at Quarantine Station outside Stellenbosch.

A chemical analysis will be performed on the sample that is provided to the office of the Liquor Products division, unless the importer provides an acceptable Analysis Certificate issued by an official laboratory in the country of origin.  In the case of bottled products, the label on the bottle will also be evaluated to ensure that it complies with the Liquor Products Act of 1989.  In the case of a bulk product, the label will be assessed when the application for a Permission to Sell certificate is received.  After receiving approval from this division, consignments of the product may begin to be imported.
