Institutional Support for Trade, Investment and Exports
The Department of Trade and Industry (the dtic) negotiates trade agreements with individual countries and regional trade blocs to secure market access for South African goods, develop new export markets and broaden the country’s export base. The International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) and the South African Revenue Service (SARS) play a critical role in the administration of these agreements.
The Provincial Investment Promotion Agencies (PIPAs) and export organisations also play a key role in developing the exporting capabilities of manufacturing sectors and identifying investment projects in the provinces.
