South African exporters hit by the recent U.S. tariff hike now have a direct line to help. The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) has launched a dedicated Export Support Desk, a one-stop shop offering practical, real-time assistance to businesses navigating the fallout of shifting global trade policies. Exporters looking for new markets, need help with compliance hurdles, or want to connect with SA embassies abroad can call this new Desk for support.

Key services offered:

  • Updates on U.S. tariff changes and global trade developments

  • Guidance on diversifying export destinations

  • Market entry insights and compliance support

  • Linkages to diplomatic missions for hands-on assistance

In a time of trade turbulence, this initiative aims to keep South African goods moving and our exporters growing. Exporters are encouraged to actively engage with the Desk and check the DTIC website regularly for updates and tools. Contact details per region are listed below.
