What We Do at SACCUSA?
The South African Chamber of Commerce in the USA (SACCUSA) is more than just an organization; it’s a dynamic platform dedicated to bridging the gap between South African business interests and the thriving marketplace of the United States.
Our core mission is to facilitate trade, influence policy, and provide a compelling voice for South African businesses in the U.S. market.
We play a pivotal role in shaping trade policies that impact South African businesses in the USA. Our team actively engages with policymakers, advocating for an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. We leverage our deep-rooted connections within various industries and the corridors of power to influence decisions that have a bearing on South African business interests.
We also serve as an influential lobby for South African businesses, ensuring their concerns and aspirations are at the forefront of key policy discussions. We lobby for a more inclusive trade policy, creating the optimal conditions for businesses to operate, grow, and contribute to the bilateral economic prosperity.
SACCUSA is the leading voice for South African businesses in the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) and other bilateral trade agreements. We work diligently to ensure that these agreements work to the advantage of South African businesses, opening avenues for market access, investment, and growth.
Through our concerted efforts, we seek to maximize the benefits of AGOA for South African businesses and consistently lobby for its extension and broadening. Our team works tirelessly to ensure our members are up-to-date with the latest changes in these agreements and are well-positioned to take advantage of the opportunities they present.
We provide our members with essential insights on business trends, regulatory changes, and market dynamics, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate the complex U.S. business landscape successfully.

We invite you to join us today and be a part of this vibrant business community, contributing to and benefiting from the broader South African economic narrative.
