What this means

This South African Government Gazette notice (Notice 4014 of 2026, dated 10 July 2026) by the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) lists customs tariff applications (List 01/2026). It also sets out rules for submitting confidential information and non-confidential summaries, including time limits for raising deficiencies in other parties’ submissions. In addition, it reports the outcome of ITAC’s tariff amendment review investigation (ITAC Report No. 733) on frozen mixed vegetables under tariff subheading 0710.90, where the Minister approved ITAC’s recommendation to maintain the current duty structure after considering an earlier rejected proposal to increase the duty from 10% to 37% ad valorem.
