The Kingdom of Eswatini, earlier known as Swaziland, has received an effective African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) textile visa system reauthorisation from the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR). The country can now export textile and apparel goods to the United States without paying levy. The regulation applies from June 3 this year.

The reauthorisation came after the USTR determined that Eswatini had adopted an effective visa system and related procedures to prevent the unlawful transhipment of textile and apparel goods and the use of counterfeit documents in connection with the shipment of such articles, according to a newspaper report from the country.
