Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 62837, member: 636"] Zimbabwe plans to implement a National Trade Tariff Policy that establishes clear regulations for protecting domestic manufacturers while meeting regional trade commitments. The Competition and Tariff Commission presented the framework during a Bulawayo workshop on Tuesday aimed at advancing industrial growth. Officials will conduct comprehensive tariff reviews every five years to adapt to changing economic conditions and global commerce standards. The policy addresses unfair trading practices through investigations of dumped or subsidized imports that threaten local producers. Zimbabwe maintains exclusion lists under the African Continental Free Trade Area to safeguard sensitive industries from tariff elimination. Business leaders support the initiative, but emphasize the need to balance consumer access with protections for small enterprises against the influx of cheap foreign products flooding the market.
