Uitvoerders moet nou op internet-databasis te registreer
Die Departement van Handel en Nywerheid sê dit is noodsaaklik vir alle uitvoerders om hul eie besonderhede asook volle besonderhede van die produkte en dienste wat hulle wil uitvoer, op die Department se nuwe internet-databasis aan te bring.
Soos met alle amptelike organisasies betrokke by die bevordering van uitvoere wêreldwyd, moet Trade and Investment SA (TISA), die uitvoer-afdeling van die Departement Handel en Nywerheid belas met die bevordering en promosie van uitvoere, akkurate rekords hou van hul kliëntebasis, d.w.s alle bestaande Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoerders. n Nuwe databasis is geskep vir hierdie doel.
Dié databasis sal die enigste amptelike bron wees van "wie voer wat uit" in Suid-Afrika. Dit sal as die eksklusiewe verwysingsgids vir uitvoere deur TISA, by die Departement in Pretoria gebruik word, asook deur die streekkantore en alle SA missies in die buiteland (waar die Departement kantore het asook elders). Alhoewel dit eers later geïmplementeer sal word, word daar tans oorweging geskenk aan die idee dat EMIA-aansporingsmaatreëls slegs beskikbaar sal wees aan uitvoerders wat op hierdie databasis geregistreer is.
Alle invoernavrae wat van die buiteland ontvang word, alle marknavorsing wat deur die Departement se buitelandse ekonomiese verteenwoordigers onderneem word, asook alle pro-aktiewe uitvoerpromosieveldtogte sal onder die aandag van uitvoerders, wat op die databasis geregistreer is, gebring word.
Die oorsprong van die databasis is die lys van werklike uitvoerders soos saamgestel oor n tydperk tot en met Julie 2000. Indien n produsent suksesvol uitgevoer het gedurende die 24 maande tot op datum, sal sy / haar naam en die SA Inkomstediens (SAID) nommer op die databasis geplaas word en kan die registrasieproses op die webblad voortgaan.
Nuwe Uitvoerders
n Fasiliteit is geskep vir nuwe uitvoerders om ook op hierdie databasis te registreer, nadat hulle n SA Inkomstediensnommer by hul naaste SAID-kantoor ontvang het. Wanneer n uitvoerder sy of haar SAID-nommer het, is die volgende stap om die uitvoerskakelsentrum te kontak by (012) 310-2000 en te vra om sy / haar besonderhede op die databasis vas te lê. Hierna begin die verifikasieproses by die Departement van Handel en Nywerheid, waarna die uitvoerder persoonlike toegang tot die databasis sal verkry om verdere besonderhede by te voeg.
Onaktiewe of Afgestorwe Uitvoerders
Ten einde te verseker dat slegs rekordhouding van "lewendige" en "potensiële" uitvoerders op die databasis in stand gehou word, en "dooie" maatskappye van die lys verwyder word, is daar besluit om n uitvoerdersdatabasis op die webblad te skep wat deur uitvoerders hulself bedryf sal word. Die Departement het ook n proses ontwikkel waarvolgens onaktiewe uitvoerders outomaties geëlimineer sal word nadat n toepaslike tydperk verloop het waarin daar geen transaksies aangegaan is nie.
Toestemming om besonderhede openbaar te maak
Vanweë bepaalde vertroulikheidsvereistes kan die inligting van geregistreerde uitvoerders slegs bekend gemaak word (deur middel van die webblad) nadat die toestemming van die uitvoerder verkry is. Uitvoerders word dus gevra om hul toestemming te gee dat spesifieke besonderhede op die Departement se uitvoer-webblad mag verskyn - kliek net op die toestemming-simbool op die webblad. Indien sodanige toestemming weerhou word, sal slegs sekere amptenare van die Departement toegang tot die inligting hê en "nuwe" uitvoerders sal nie van dié uitvoerders se bestaan bewus wees nie.
Vereistes
Produsente moet by die SAID (die voormalige Departement van Doeane en Aksyns) geregistreer wees as n uitvoerder (d.w.s hy / sy moet n SAID-kode van 9 nommers of minder hê) EN hulle moet op hierdie stelsel geregistreer wees voordat hulle kan inskakel en verdere besonderhede aanbring. Die operateurs het probeer om duplisering te vermy deur weg te doen met die ou Departement se uitvoerdersregistrasienommer. In die toekoms sal slegs die SAID-nommer en wagwoord benodig word om te registreer en toegang tot die databasis te verkry.
Die uitvoerdersdatabasis sal bedryf word op TISA se nuwe webblad, maar kan reeds nou al gevind word op http://www2.dti.gov.za/exportersdb/default.asp.

Exporters urged to register on internet database
The Department of Trade and Industry says it is essential for all exporters who want to get their own details as well as full particulars of the products and services that they wish to export listed on its internet exporters database.
In line with all official export promotion organisations worldwide, Trade and Investment SA (TISA), the export promotion division of the Department of Trade and Industry has to keep accurate records of their client base - all existing South African exporters. A new exporters database was created to serve this purpose.
This database will become the sole official source of "who exports what" in South Africa and will be used in TISA, the Department in Pretoria as well as the regional offices and all the SA missions abroad (where the Department maintains offices as well as the rest) as the exclusive export reference guide. Although it will not be implemented for a while, consideration is being given to the idea that EMIA incentives will only be available to exporters registered on this database.
All import enquiries received from abroad and all market research undertaken by the Department's foreign economic representatives, as well as all pro-active export promotion drives will only be brought to the attention of exporters who have registered on this database.
The origin of the export database is the list of actual exporters as compiled over a period until June 2000. If a producer successfully exported in the 24 months prior to that date, his/her company name and SA Revenue Service (SARS) number has been captured and the registration process can proceed on the website.
New Exporters
A facility has been created for new exporters to also register on this database after they have obtained a SA Revenue Service number from their nearest SARS office. When an exporter has his/her SARS number, the next step is to call the Export Call Center at (012) 310-2000 and ask them to capture his/her details on the database. This is followed by a verification process at the Department of Trade and Industry after which he/she will be able to log on and add details to those originally recorded.
Inactive or deceased Exporters
To solve the problem of only keeping record of live and potential exporters but to eliminate deceased companies or deadwood from the list, it has been decided to create a website hosted exporters database that will be self-maintained by exporters. The Department has also incorporated a process that will auto-eliminate inactive exporters after an appropriate period of not generating any export transactions.
Consent to make details public
Due to certain confidentiality obligations, information on registered exporters can only be made public (made accessible through a website) upon the consent of each exporter. Exporters are therefore asked to give consent (by clicking the consent icon on the website) that specific details can be displayed on the Departments export website. If consent is not given, only some officials at the Department will have access to the information provided and new importers will not be aware of your existence.
Requirements
Producers must be registered with the SARS, formerly the Department of Customs and Excise, as an exporter (i.e. he/she must have a nine digit - or lower - SARS code) AND they must be registered on this system, before they can log in and add further details. The operators have tried to avoid duplication by abandoning the old Department exporters registration number and they will in future only need the SARS number and password to register and access the database.
The Exporters Database will ultimately be hosted on TISAs new website but can now be found at: http://www2.dti.gov.za/exportersdb/default.asp.
