# President Cyril Ramaphosa says the 30-percent reciprocal tariff imposed by the US on South African exports is not an accurate representation of available trade data. He says 56-percent of goods enter South Africa at zero-percent most favoured nation tariff, with 77-percent of US goods entering the country’s market under the zero-percent duty. The president has welcomed the commitment by the US government that tariffs are subject to modification. Ramaphosa says South Africa will continue with its diplomatic efforts towards a more balanced and mutually beneficial trade relationship with America.
