Advising importers, exporters and cross-border businesses on trade compliance, remedies and regulatory risk.
South African businesses trading across borders operate within a dense web of import and export regulation, trade agreements, exchange control rules and sanctions regimes. Getting this wrong can delay shipments, trigger penalties, or expose a business to regulatory action.
We advise importers, exporters, manufacturers and logistics providers on the full range of international trade matters, from routine compliance questions to formal trade remedy investigations before the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC).
Working alongside our Customs & Excise team, we give clients a single point of contact for both the trade and customs dimensions of their cross-border business.
Guidance on permits, licensing and day-to-day cross-border compliance obligations.
Representation in ITAC anti-dumping, countervailing and safeguard investigations.
Advice on preferential access under AGOA and other regional and bilateral trade agreements.
Navigating SARB exchange control requirements for cross-border transactions.
Assistance obtaining and defending permits issued by ITAC and other regulators.
Advice on sanctions screening and restricted-party compliance for international trade.
If your business is facing a trade remedy investigation, permit refusal or exchange control query, early advice can materially change the outcome.
