Please note that CPM cannot undertake applications or application renewals on behalf of our clients, but there are consultants listed at the end of this article who can be of service to you. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n What we are<\/em> able to assist jewellers with is a \u201cLetter of Trade\u201d which is necessary to submit with your applications. Please contact your Sales Executive for this. <\/strong><\/p>\n A reminder that you will need to show that you are disposing of your waste correctly. You can obtain this proof via a letter from your waste management company. CPM can recommend EnviroServe or Waste Man.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As many of you are aware, a high court judgement in 2021 in favour of a local manufacturing jeweller set aside certain clauses of the Mining Charter. Unfortunately, now in August 2023, the DMRE has still to this date not published any notices outlining which clauses have been amended. As such, South African manufacturing jewellers remain obliged to comply with the current license application requirements.<\/p>\n The below helpful tips and hints are based on a press release from the Jewellery Council of South Africa from early 2021, a simplified list of license application requirements, which the Council requested from the South African Diamonds and Precious Metals Regulator earlier in 2023, as well as feedback from CPM clients in the last two years. We hope this will ease the process of obtaining your jeweller\u2019s permit, and provide you with a checklist of the documentation needed for your application.<\/p>\n TIPS WE’VE LEARNT:<\/strong><\/p>\n ASCERTAINING YOUR COMPLIANCE LEVEL: MICRO ENTERPRISES are defined as a company with an estimated maximum turnover of less than R1 million.
