The exception is Wine exporters with "Approved Exporter Status", who will follow the electronic exporter to client system on Wine Online.

Contravention of this procedure will be subject to suspension from the "Approved Exporter Status" classification by SARS and denied access on Wine Online. |
| (d) |
Wine exporters that used manually issued EUR 1 certificates without a quota will not qualify for a quota benefit in terms of the SACUM-UK EPA preferential scheme and will therefore be temporarily denied access for exportation until it has been reversed or corrected on Wine Online or at SARS. |

Wine exporters that used manually issued EUR 1 certificates with a quota must declare it on Wine Online as in-quota exports. Contravention of this procedure will be subject to suspension and denial of access on Wine Online. |
