With Countries in Southern African Customs Union - SACU The
Southern African Customs Union has five members:
The
current Union came into effect in 1970; however its concept dates back
to colonial days (1910). Under its rules, South Africa collects levies
from customs, sales, and excise duties for all five members, sharing out
proceeds based on each country's portion of imports. At
the end of 2004 it was negotiating a Free Trade deal with the USA. A
Free Trade deal is scheduled to be signed between it and Iceland in
November 2005 and to become active in the beginning of 2006. All
members except Botswana participate in the Common Monetary Area. SACU
is not one of the pillars of the African Economic Community, but its
members are associated with it through the Southern African Development
Community (SADC). By the Courtesy of Wikipedia |
