# The Department of Trade Industry and Competition has urged South African exporters to collaborate to access international markets under the Block Exemption for Promotion of Exports. The framework allows qualifying businesses to share certain costs, infrastructure, market information and logistics, and jointly market goods where permitted. The department says the measure responds to rising tariffs, logistics costs and increasingly complex global trade. It aims to help smaller businesses compete internationally. Exporters are urged to understand the exemption’s requirements and limitations before entering collaborative arrangements.
