  • The document highlights that while the SADC FTA has facilitated some trade growth, its effectiveness is severely hampered by restrictive Rules of Origin, non-tariff barriers (NTBs), and overlapping regional memberships. Private sector actors report administrative burdens in acquiring certificates of origin and the use of technical barriers to trade as veiled protectionism or revenue-raising tools. The briefing recommends harmonizing technical standards, simplifying Rules of Origin through the Tripartite FTA, and improving customs cooperation to reduce the cost of doing business in the region.
