SGS Helps Businesses Successfully Export to African and Middle Eastern Markets
SGS expert looks at the control of imports using technical regulations in Africa and the Middle East and considers what strategies are available to exporters.
- (1888PressRelease) March 30, 2022 - SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published an article in its new Product Conformity Assessment (PCA) Newsletter looking at the increasing use of technical barriers to trade in African and Middle Eastern countries and the solutions available to exporters.
The Middle East and Africa respectively accounted for 30% and 35% of the total sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS) and technical barriers to trade (TBT) measures notified by the World Trade Organization (WTO) (as of December 31, 2021). The trend towards using these mechanisms to control trade is growing, meaning manufacturers and suppliers must stay up to date with relevant regulations in order to export successfully.
SGS’s PCA Newsletter article looks at the common trends around these technical regulations and considers the importance of advanced planning and need to successfully engage in relevant product conformity assessment processes.
