South Africa is considering new tariffs on paper products after local manufacturers called for protection against cheaper imports amid rising manufacturing costs and declining domestic demand.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Manufacturing Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The South African paper industry’s demand for tariffs signals a reopening of trade policy that could block low-cost imports and reshape local competition. You need to re-evaluate your supply chain and pricing if you source paper products from South Africa or export there.
