The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) initiated an investigation into the increase of the rate of customs duty on imports of mixtures of frozen vegetables. The proposed increase is from the current 10% to 37%.

The apparent reason for the applied increase is due to low cost imports primarily from the EU and China.

Interested parties have until 22 March 2019 to submit representations to ITAC in support of or in opposition to the application. For a copy of the notice, kindly click here.
