The U.S. Trade Representative announced that South Africa and Rwanda will lose their African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) trade benefits starting January 1, 2027, due to practices deemed inconsistent with eligibility criteria.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a sudden closure of U.S. trade preferences if you rely on AGOA for South Africa or Rwanda markets. Now is the moment to seek alternative export routes or pivot markets before the January 2027 cutoff.
