Ministerial Directive to Review the Tariff Structure for Poultry - Comment due

Publish Date: 
23 Mar 2021

On 16 March the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) called for comment, by 13 April 2021, on the proposed Ministerial Directive to review the tariff structure for poultry (fowls of the species Gallus Domesticus), classifiable under tariff subheading 0207.1.

The application was lodged by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic). According to the notice comments must be provided in the format of a questionnaire obtainable on ITAC’s website at www.itac.org.za, link: Services - Tariff investigations - Government Gazette Notices – Other publication notices.

The Trade, Industry and Competition Minister directed ITAC to review the entire tariff structure for poultry, taking into consideration, inter alia, the following aspects:

(a) Considering the introduction of specific rather than ad valorem customs duties.

(b) Considering simplifying the tariff structure by reducing the number of tariff lines for poultry in Schedule No.1 “Ordinary Customs Duty” to the Customs and Excise Act, 1964, by operating at a 6-digit, 7-digit or 8-digit level.

(c) Considering specific anti-dumping measures where appropriate and consider how these impact on the level of the ad valorem tariffs.

(d) Considering the introduction of an appropriate system of rebates whereby tariff levels on certain imports can be reduced where parties are achieving exports.

(e) Considering the possibility of other measures, such as an entry price system.
