UK-Madagascar Trade Partnership Offers Generous Tariff‑Free Access to Malagasy Exporters
The United Kingdom’s trade partnership with Madagascar, built on the Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS) and the UK‑Eastern and Southern Africa Economic Partnership Agreement (UKESA EPA), gives Malagasy exporters extensive tariff‑free access and simplified rules of origin. Under the DCTS, Madagascar enjoys 99 % tariff‑free access to the UK market, while the UKESA EPA allows 100 % duty‑free entry on thousands of products and broader cumulation options with over 90 developing countries. Exporters may choose either scheme, but must correctly classify goods, meet UK regulatory standards, provide supplier declarations and proof of origin, and adhere to rules of origin. The UK government offers guidance documents, the Growth Gateway, and the Digital Pathways campaign to help firms find UK buyers and supply chains. Trade queries can be sent to the UK Embassy in Antananarivo.
