Limited Trade Activity for HS Code Items Between US and Réunion
Recent trade data indicates minimal to no recorded transactions for products with a diameter or cross-section of 76 mm to 152 mm (specific HS Code not fully specified) between the United States and Réunion, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. This reflects the small scale of direct trade between the two regions.
October 2023
Impact: Negligible impact on overall trade due to the limited economic relationship and geographic distance; trade in such specific categories remains insignificant.
US Export Restrictions and Réunion’s Import Dependency
Réunion, as part of the EU customs union, adheres to EU trade policies, while the US maintains specific export controls on industrial goods under certain HS Codes. No specific disruptions were noted for items measuring 76 mm to 152 mm, but general trade barriers persist.
September 2023
Impact: Indirect trade through EU channels may affect costs and availability of such goods in Réunion, though direct US-Réunion trade remains minimal.
Global Supply Chain Shifts Indirectly Affect Réunion Imports
Global supply chain disruptions have led to delays in industrial goods shipments, including those potentially falling under the specified HS Code range. While direct US-Réunion trade data is scarce, Réunion’s reliance on EU intermediaries for US goods could cause minor delays.
August 2023
Impact: Potential delays or increased costs for Réunion importers, though direct bilateral trade impact is limited due to low volume.
