International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa
Mission
Creating an enabling environment for fair trade though Customs Tariff
Investigations, Trade Remedies and Import and Export Control.
Overview
The international Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) exists to create a fair,
efficient and competitive market place for our economic citizens, enabling fair trade.
The establishment of the ITAC marks a new era in South Africa's journey to ensure increased
trade harmonisation at a regional level and is an indicative milestone towards becoming a
world benchmark in international trade administration.
The significant of ITAC becomes even more apparent within the context of the recently re-negotiated Southern
African Customers Union (SACU) agreement, affecting the economies and the prosperity of the SACU members -
South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Namibia. This, in turn, has important implications for the
Southern African Development Community (SADC) extending into the sub-continent of Africa.
ITAC's strategic thrust marks a new era of creating an enabling environment for fair trade in the
SACU and is aligned with the overall objectives of South Africa's Department of Trade of Industry (the dti)
to construct a platform that contributes to economic growth, employment and equity.
Three specialist units support the Commission with invaluable contribution to the overall
objectives of the dti:
- Customs tariff investigations
- Trade remedies; and
- Import and Export control.
