Abstract
In this episode of MRA Corner, Temwani Fatch breaks down the benefits of trade agreements under the Southern African Development Community (SADC). She explains how SADC countries are working together to simplify and promote regional trade by reducing trade barriers, especially import taxes.
The video highlights how these agreements help businesses and consumers across the region by allowing certain goods to be imported duty-free or at reduced tax rates, as long as they meet specific rules of origin. Temwani also discusses the importance of regional integration, how Malawi benefits from these agreements, and what importers need to know to take full advantage of these opportunities.
Stay informed on how SADC is making trade easier, faster, and more affordable across southern Africa.
