The East African Community (EAC) trading block is one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Consisting of Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania (including Zanzibar) and Uganda, it offers lucrative business opportunities. To fully capitalize on these opportunities and avoid delays or penalties due to non-compliant products, companies benefit from a greater understanding of the process for obtaining mandatory Certificates of Conformity (CoC) and expert advice on compliance with regional standards.

These webinars provide a guide to our tailored EAC-Ready product certification scheme, focusing on advice for traders working in the Ugandan, Tanzanian and Kenyan markets. The three sessions will be held on March 18, 2025, for Kenya; March 19, 2025, for Uganda; and March 20, 2025, for Tanzania.

During each webinar, our expert presenters will explain how the EAC-Ready scheme helps traders navigate compliance requirements and expand their market reach. The session will cover the background, purpose, scope and benefits of the scheme, as well as the certification process. There will also be an opportunity to ask our experts questions.
