South Africa: Notional trade gains for South Africa and the United States

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

United States exporters of agricultural products to South Africa, especially meat exporters, face both tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade, including anti-dumping duties and sanitary, phytosanitary (SPS) measures. However, the United States acknowledges that South Africa is an important trading partner and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is working on finding technical solutions on key issues to ensure practical and safe trade in agricultural products for both countries. This report summarizes the notional trade gains for South Africa and the United States if certain technical and other barriers to trade could be resolved.
