On 20 September 2013 ITAC advised of the proposed rebate of the full customs duty on other pile fabrics, knitted or crocheted, of man-made fibres, classifiable in tariff subheading 6001.92 of Schedule No.1 Part 1 to the Act, for the manufacture of footwear with uppers of textile materials, classifiable in Chapter 64 of Schedule No.1 Part 1 to the Act. The application was lodged by Fast Fox Footwear t/a The Little Slippery Co., which reasoned that there are no local manufacturers of the product in question within the SACU region, and that the company is under threat from imported slippers. Comment is due by 18 October 2013.
