Although no formal notice has been published and no opportunity has been given for interested parties to comment, the press has stated that a duty increase has been approved on steel (I have no idea which tariff codes are covered).  The SARS website has not published a notice so we have no idea when this will be implemented, but if true, this would be a very unusual step as input is typically solicited before a decision is taken, and certainly enough time was available to consider any input from interested parties. The tariff investigation regulations were recently updated and the new regulations would still appear to indicate that matters should be published for comment before decisions are implemented. Let’s see exactly how exactly this unfolds.
