Summary
The document contrasts the unilateral nature of AGOA, which provides duty-free market access to sub-Saharan Africa without requiring reciprocal concessions, against bilateral agreements that are more complex to negotiate but can offer better tariff concessions. It highlights that South Africa maintains a strong trade surplus with the US and notes that any future bilateral agreements would need to be negotiated through the Southern African Customs Union (SACU).
