📊 AfCFTA operating notes
💡The AU public framework uses 90% general goods, 7% sensitive goods and 3% excluded products. The exact line, corridor and origin rule still decide the quote.
✅Domestic implementation can vary by country. Check the latest national legal notice, customs instruction or official tariff book before promising a reduced rate.
⚠️If a state has not ratified, filed or operationalised the relevant schedule for the lane, treat the preference as unconfirmed and price the MFN fallback.
Corridor Tariff Checker
Corridor Analysis
Category A
About 90% of tariff lines. These are the general liberalisation lines, but the pace depends on the filed offer and country treatment.
Category B
About 7% of tariff lines. Sensitive goods follow longer phase-down timelines and should be checked line by line before quoting.
Category C
About 3% of tariff lines. Excluded products keep tariff protection and should be priced on the MFN fallback unless the authority confirms otherwise.

💡 What Rules of Origin Mean for Traders
💡To claim AfCFTA preferential duty rates, goods must meet the Rules of Origin (RoO) for their sector. The product must be "sufficiently transformed" in an AfCFTA member state.
⚠️Textiles, Automotive, Sugar, Dairy, and Leather goods rules are still being negotiated. Until finalised, traders cannot reliably claim AfCFTA rates for these categories.
✅Where a product rule is available and the corridor is operational, keep the transformation evidence with the certificate of origin before claiming the preference.
