On 21 August 2026, the International Trade Administration Commission of South Africa (ITAC) published a Gazette concerning the proposed increase in the customs duty on aluminium chlorohydrate.
Proposed duty increase on aluminium chlorohydrate
ITAC is reconsidering an application to increase the customs duty on aluminium chlorohydrate, classifiable under tariff subheading 2827.32, from free of duty to 10% ad valorem.
The application was submitted by MCFI International (Pty) Ltd and was initially investigated in 2024. However, the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition referred ITAC’s recommendation back to the Commission for further investigation, taking into account changing market conditions and updated trade data.
Domestic manufacturers, importers, distributors, downstream users, and other interested parties are invited to submit updated information for ITAC’s consideration.
