SARB BoP categories after the August 2026 change
The current SARB FinSurv Balance of Payments categories, 936 entries, split into 422 inward and 514 outward. Categories are direction-specific.
Direction decides the meaning before the digits do. Category 103/01 inward is “Export proceeds (excluding capital goods, gold, platinum, crude oil, refined petroleum products, gemstones, steel, coal, copper, iron ore and goods exported via the country’s Post Office, sugar, textiles (excluding CMT), timber)”. The same number outward is “Import payment (excluding capital goods, gold, platinum, crude oil, refined petroleum products, gemstones, steel, coal, iron ore, goods imported via the country Post Office, copper, metals, scrap metals, sugar, textiles (excluding CMT) and timber)”.
Your bank submits the BOPCUS report to the South African Reserve Bank. Your business supplies the category. Hedgr prepares the category against your accounting records and does not submit anything to SARB.

Common questions
What changed with SARB BoP categories in August 2026?
SARB replaced its Balance of Payments category taxonomy industry-wide on 2026-08-11. The current list runs to 936 category and subcategory entries and is aligned to BPM6.
Are BoP categories the same for money in and money out?
No. Categories are direction-specific. Category 103/01 inward means "Export proceeds (excluding capital goods, gold, platinum, crude oil, refined petroleum products, gemstones, steel, coal, copper, iron ore and goods exported via the country’s Post Office, sugar, textiles (excluding CMT), timber)", while the same number outward means "Import payment (excluding capital goods, gold, platinum, crude oil, refined petroleum products, gemstones, steel, coal, iron ore, goods imported via the country Post Office, copper, metals, scrap metals, sugar, textiles (excluding CMT) and timber)". Settle the direction of the money before reading any code.
Who submits the BoP report to SARB?
