Television Set Rebate Facility On 29 June the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (Itac) published a notice in the Government Gazette in respect of the proposed amendment of Rebate Item 316.17/00.00/03.00. The proposed amended Rebate Item to read “Goods of any description (excluding mounted or populated circuit boards), used in the manufacture of reception apparatus for television not designed to incorporate a video display or screen, classification under tariff subheading 8528.71, at such times, in such quantities, and subject to such conditions as the International Trade Administration Commission may allow by specific permit”.
