Introduction

Welcome

Dear Learner

Welcome to the module entitled ‘Audit commodities against customs and other statutory
requirements’. The curriculum code for the module is 333101000-PM-04. In terms of the
curriculum, this module has been designated as a ‘Practical Skills Module’ and a ‘Logbook’
and is the fourth in a series of seven (7) practical skills modules related to the qualification
specified below.

This logbook is designed to serve as a guide for the duration of your practical work-related
activities and may continue to be a valuable reference even after you have completed your
qualification.

This module/logbook contains tasks and/or checklists in the form of activities and templates
which will assist you in applying the knowledge you acquired from the theoretically inclined
‘Knowledge Modules’ and thus develop the requisite skills which you should be able to
demonstrate in the workplace. These will be further documented via the Work Experience
Modules in accordance with the ‘Exit Level Outcomes’ of the relevant qualification.

Your facilitator will guide you through this material, and feel free to make notes and
diagrams that will help you to clarify or retain information. Take notes on ideas you may
generate or those that emanate from group discussions. Also note any points you would
like to explore further.

Participate actively in the outlined or assigned activities as these will give you an
opportunity to gain insights from your own experiences and also from other people’s
experiences too.
Feel free to share your own experiences so that others can learn from you too.

This module will prove to be both interesting and challenging for you. In order to
successfully complete this module, you will be required to devote at least 100 ‘notional’
hours to various comprehensive tasks and activities which will be assigned to you.

This module is part of a qualification titled ‘Occupational Certificate: Clearing and
Forwarding Agent’ which registered with the 1South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA)
and administered by the 2Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO).

Purpose and Rationale of the Qualification

Purpose:

3The purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as a Clearing and
Forwarding Agent.

A Clearing and Forwarding Agent carries out customs clearing procedures and ensures that
insurance, export/import licences, and other formalities are in order to facilitate the
movement of cargo internationally and locally and ensures compliance with current
legislation.

A qualified learner will be able to:

1. Forward cargo within the local and international logistics environment.
2. Observe compliance with statutory requirements within the local and international

logistics environment.
3. Conduct warehousing operations within the local and international logistics

environment.
4. Assist with distribution of cargo within the local and international logistics

environment.

Rationale:

This qualification reflects the workplace-based needs of the international logistics and
freight forwarding industry that relates to the clearing and forwarding operations that have
been expressed by all role-players to meet both current and future needs. It will contribute
to the upliftment of the industry and set a standard of professionalism in the industry.

This qualification serves to equip the qualifying learner with the fundamental skills,
knowledge, and attitudes necessary to support the provision of world-class services and
improve customer service in international logistics and supply chain management to
promote an efficient and comprehensive national and international cargo movement
system.

The intention of this qualification is - to ensure that South Africa remains compliant with
national and international standards for the movement of cargo within and across its
borders, by promoting the development of functional knowledge and competencies that are
required in the Freight Forwarding and Customs Compliance environment; and providing
opportunities for career pathways and life-long learning for learners in the Freight
Forwarding and Customs Compliance environment.

The Forwarding and Clearing Industry (F & C) comprises economic activities and supply
chains that relate to all imports and exports of goods entering or leaving South Africa as well

SAQA 96368 Practical Module 4
as those transiting this country. This is essential for the success of every industry in South
Africa and therefore contributes to the growth of the South African economy as a whole.
This industry is critical to the ongoing performance of South Africa as an international
trading nation, and its activities facilitate all forms of physical trade. Though there are many
areas of commerce and industry critical to the long-term performance of the economy,
there are few more so than this industry.
Logistics, a major component of the supply chain, contributes substantially to the costs of
the goods in South Africa, and is above the international norm. A sizeable proportion of this
overspend could be attributed to inefficiencies and lack of competence. In order to compete
globally, South Africa needs to achieve just-in-time delivery as an essential requirement of
its cost efficiency. This requires the maintenance of world-class supply chains, competence,
and skills.
The F & C Industry serves as an input to nearly every industry in the national and
international economy and utilises all modes of transport involved in the carriage of goods,
cargo, and freight, be it by ocean, air, rail or road. The industry is also a service provider of
warehouses, transit sheds and the associated management of shipment tracking, costing,
and accounting data. The transport sector, including the Forwarding and Clearing Industry,
comprises a substantial proportion of South Africa's national carbon footprint, and is
therefore the ideal environment to maximise the impact of practical, new, green logistics
approaches and technologies.
