Important Announcements

POSTED ON April 10, 2025

With the current impasse between SA and the USA on the trade tariffs, which EWC is focusing on while awaiting the President’s availability to address EWC on this key issue, we move ahead with our April function.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome back Clifford Evans, our Customs specialist and analyst to the Exporters Stage, on Wednesday, 23rd April, at the Encore, Rothschild Boulevard, Panaroma,

Clifford will share his knowledge with us on Customs and OGA’s on what to expect in 2025,   certainly a hot topic!

We are also pleased to welcome Sean Petzer, of Pallet Porter, who will provide an insight into a new solution on how to tackle inefficiencies and optimise space in container shipping, and also reduce CO2.

Your personal invitation is attached – look forward to seeing you on the 23rd!
