Effective January 1, 2027, the United States is suspending South Africa and Rwanda’s eligibility for benefits under the AGOA Act, citing violations of eligibility criteria and concerns related to trade, security, and foreign policy. South Africa is expected to be affected most: its exports to the U.S. market that were exempt from tariffs reached $1.7 billion in 2025, and its products could face additional duties of around 3.4%, potentially costing thousands of jobs in agriculture and industry, particularly in citrus and automobiles. U.S. imports from Rwanda totaled $43.3 million in 2025; affected Rwandan exports include coffee, tea, and minerals. Officials believe the economic impact on South Africa may remain relatively limited, while Pretoria is moving to diversify its trading markets.
