New Tariff Agreement Boosts Assembly Trade Between US and Madagascar
A recent bilateral agreement has reduced tariffs on assemblies, including cooking chambers and outer cases (HS Code: 8419.81), facilitating increased exports from Madagascar to the United States. This deal aims to strengthen economic ties by easing trade barriers.
2023-10-15
Impact: This agreement is expected to increase the volume of assembly exports from Madagascar to the US by 15% over the next year, particularly in cooking chamber and outer case components, benefiting manufacturers and lowering costs for US consumers.
Madagascar Expands Production of Structural Supporting Chassis for US Market
Madagascan manufacturers have ramped up production of structural supporting chassis and doors (HS Code: 7321.90) for household appliances, targeting the US market amid growing demand for affordable assembly components.

Impact: This surge in production could lead to a 10% rise in US imports of these assemblies from Madagascar, potentially reducing dependency on other suppliers and stabilizing prices for structural components in the US market.

The US has introduced stricter quality control measures on imported assemblies, specifically cooking chambers and outer cases (HS Code: 8419.81), from Madagascar to ensure compliance with safety regulations following recent consumer complaints.
