MARKET · REGION

Europe

EU and UK buyers for minerals, agricultural commodities and industrial raw materials.

European buyers apply the most demanding compliance regime of any market we serve. REACH registration for chemicals, EU food safety rules and traceability requirements all have to be satisfied before cargo can clear.

The EUR.1 movement certificate can reduce or eliminate duty for qualifying South African origin goods under the trade agreement, which is often the difference between a competitive and an uncompetitive landed cost.

Demand is concentrated in minerals for industrial processing and selected agricultural commodities with verifiable origin and traceability.
