SACU MIGRATION FROM HS 2017 TO HS 2022
THE BENEFITS, PROGRESS AND OUTLOOK TO JANUARY 2022
THE EU-WCO PROGRAMME IN SACU AND ANTICIPATED BENEFITS
The first Mission of the EU-WCO Programme for Harmonised System (HS) in Africa, within SACU was a national Diagnostic Mission on the implementation of the HS and advance rulings for the Lesotho Revenue Authority (LRA) which was held on 04-08 November 2019 in Maseru, Lesotho. The Workshop did not only discuss matters of national interest of Lesotho, but also included a discussion on how SACU as a Customs Union could work together in the management of HS related matters, considering that it has a CET. A key outcome and recommendation from the LRA Mission was to organise a regional workshop to share views on a regionally coordinated process of migrating to HS 2022, as well as their capacities to implement advance rulings.
