Congratulations to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia on Gazetting Its AfCFTA Provisional Schedule of Tariff Concessions (PSTCs)! What does it mean to gazette or domesticate a trade commitment? It is an official announcement that enhances transparency, ensuring that businesses, organisations, and citizens are informed of new regulations coming into force. This marks a key step towards the full implementation of the AfCFTA Agreement. For traders, this provides clarity and certainty, confirming that Ethiopia will grant preferential tariff treatment to eligible goods upon importation, in line with its commitments under the AfCFTA Agreement. #AfCFTA #CreatingOneAfricanMarket

Congratulations to #Namibia for gazetting AfCFTA Provisional Schedule of Tariff Concessions (PSTC)! What does it mean to gazzette/domesticate? It is a formal announcement, providing transparency to the public and informing stakeholders (such as businesses, organizations, and citizens) of the new regulations in force towards the last steps of implementation of the Agreement. This gives traders clarity and confirmation of applicable preferential treatment with their goods upon importation in line to their tariff commitments under the AfCFTA regime.

Building on the momentum of #BiasharaAfrika and the 2nd phase of the GTI. We are proud to announce that State Parties are accelerating the implementation of the AfCFTA to boost intra-African trade. Both #Botswana and #TheGambia have gazetted the AfCFTA Provisional Schedule of Tariff Concessions (PSTC)! Gazetting, or domesticating, is the formal announcement of new regulations, ensuring public transparency and informing stakeholders,such as businesses, organizations, and citizens of AfCFTA's implementation steps. This move provides traders with clear and confirmed preferential treatment for their goods upon importation, aligning with each country's tariff commitments under the AfCFTA regime.
