​

• To liaise as a collective entity with various Government agencies that play a pivotal role within the International Trade environment

The public stakeholder engagements with the South African Revenue Service (specifically Customs and Excise) as well as other government agencies that facilitate international trade is of particular importance to the Association and its members.

 

The Association further collaborates with various industry bodies that represent the international supply chain and logistical participants to ensure that a harmonized approach is created and maintained and that the pivotal role that technology plays in support of these activities are highlighted.
