Market Guides
Jurisdiction-specific planning guides for qualifying an international commodity transaction
Destination questions, organised clearly
Sarpah's market guides help buyers and counterparties identify destination-specific questions before a commodity transaction advances. Each guide is a starting checklist for the actual product, importer, route and shipment. It is not legal, tax, customs, banking or regulatory advice.
Current guide
- East Africa Market Guide: a concise checklist covering importer responsibility, classification, permits, conformity, health controls, taxes, logistics, documents, banking and sanctions.
How to use a market guide
Requirements differ by country, product, origin, importer, declared end use and shipment date. The buyer and importer should confirm the current national rules, official sources and professional instructions that apply to the live transaction.
A market guide does not establish that a product can be imported, that a permit or bank approval will be granted, or that a shipment will clear or arrive within a particular time.
