On 16 February 2015 the South African Revenue Service (Sars) published the Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) merchandise trade statistics for Imported cheese from the European Union (EU) for January 2015.
As a means of a background under the Trade, Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) a decision was implemented on April 2010 that Sars would manage the TDCA TRQ for cheese imports from the EU on behalf of SA.
