Polyethylene Bags Tariff Application

The proposed reduction in the rate of customs duty on bags of low density polyethylene, of size not exceeding 15cm x 23cm, with no opening, having one perforated edge that incorporates a plastic-covered wire sealing mechanism. The application was lodged by Guth South Africa (Pty) Ltd who reasoned that the product in question was not manufactured in the Sacu region and that it was unlikely to be manufactured in Sacu as the product is patented. Comment is due by 15 April 2011.
