The U.S. will temporarily exempt South African oranges, bananas, and avocados from 30% tariffs starting August 2025.
The U.S. has temporarily exempted South African oranges, bananas, avocados, and other key agricultural products from 30% tariffs, easing pressure on exporters and supporting American consumers.
The move, effective after August 2025, recognizes the limited domestic U.S. production of these goods and helps maintain South Africa’s role as a major citrus supplier during the off-season.
While the exemption boosts competitiveness for oranges and some fruits, mandarins and other exports like table grapes, wine, and beef remain subject to high tariffs.
The relief is limited in scope and does not resolve broader trade challenges, especially as the African Growth and Opportunity Act’s renewal remains uncertain.
South Africa’s citrus exports to the U.S. have nearly doubled since 2017, and officials urge expanded tariff relief to ensure stable supply and market access.
