The International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa has recommended a reduction in the rate of import duty on synthetic filament yarn classified under tariff heading 54.01 and 54.02. The rate of duty has been reduced from 15% ad valorem to free of duty. Description of items under the tariff heading include: Sewing thread of synthetic filament, high tenacity yarn of polyester and textured yarn of polyester.
The Textile Federation of South Africa applied for the reduction in duty citing the inability of the industry to fully supply the Southern African Customs Union (SACU) market
