Recent trade data indicates minimal to no recorded transactions of acrylic staple fibers (HS Code 5503.30.00) between the United States and South Sudan. This specific product, with defined specifications on acrylonitrile content, water content, and solar reflectance index, has not seen significant trade volume due to limited industrial demand and infrastructure in South Sudan.
October 2023
Impact: Negligible impact on trade due to the absence of significant bilateral trade in this niche product category. Market opportunities remain unexplored.
US Export Restrictions and South Sudan Market Access Challenges
Reports highlight ongoing challenges in exporting specialized synthetic fibers like acrylic staple fibers from the US to South Sudan. Logistical barriers, coupled with South Sudan's limited textile manufacturing base, restrict trade potential for products under HS Code 5503.30.00.
September 2023
Impact: Trade remains constrained, with high costs and low demand discouraging US exporters from targeting South Sudan for this product.
South Sudan’s Import Dependency on Neighboring Countries for Fibers
South Sudan continues to rely on imports from neighboring countries for synthetic fibers, including acrylic staple fibers, rather than direct trade with the US. The specific product under HS Code 5503.30.00 is not a priority import due to limited industrial applications in the region.
August 2023
Impact: Minimal direct trade impact on US-South Sudan relations for this product, as South Sudan sources materials regionally rather than internationally.
