Market Access Conditions

This module gives an overview of the
legal and customs requirements that African enterprises may face when trading
with other African markets. It offers practical solutions to ensure that businesses
can export in compliance with the regulations of their chosen export market(s),
avoiding the consequences of getting things wrong – including possible delays
for goods, added costs and possible reputational damage. The module gives
practical advice on how to navigate the rules of the AfCFTA and other regional
trade agreements, helping exporters to benefit from the tariff reductions they
may offer. It provides guidance on the implications that differing documentary
requirements and tariff rules may have on enterprises’ export strategy, with examples
of correct documentation, as well as information on how and where to find
information on standards and certifications that may be required. Finally, it
provides a thorough overview of the Rules of Origin requirements to benefit
from reduced tariffs within the context of free trade agreements.
