Bank of Zambia Circular 18/1994: New Procedures for Issuing SGS Clean Report of Findings

The Bank of Zambia mandates new procedures effective November 1994 for the issuance of SGS Clean Report of Findings (CRF) for imports from South Africa. Under the updated system, exporters will no longer receive the original CRF, as a security sticker will instead be affixed to the commercial invoice while the Lusaka SGS Office provides the original document directly to importers for customs clearance. Banks must instruct clients using Letters of Credit to include a clause accepting a stamped invoice copy as valid proof of the corresponding CRF number and date.
