international market needs, demands and opportunities. In addition, WOSA brings wine and lifestyle journalists to the Cape on an ongoing basis. The visiting groups are exposed to the physical beauty and cultural heritage of the region's winelands. 45 To summarize, WOSA‟s mission is to enhance the image and reputation of the South African wines in key international markets, assist with the development of new export markets, assist with capacity building among exporters and facilitate the development of SA wine tourism. All South African producers who export wine can become a WOSA member. The annual fee is R570. Wine Online Wine Online is collaboration between the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Trade and Industry, and the wine industry to facilitate the submission, processing and production of the documents required for the export of wine. If you intend to export you must register with the Department of Agriculture at their Wine Online site. Export and Exemption certificates, EU quota applications and certificates, notification of loading, declaration of loading and VI.1 documents are all on Wine Online. In the future it is intended to include SAWIS and Customs and Excise to have a one stop facility for processing all export documentation. To export anything over thirty litres, a wine must have an export certificate. Exports are mainly done by sea due to the high expense of air shipments. Shipping is usually left to freight forwarders. Not only do they organize movements and inspections, book space on ships and arrange clearing, they can also handle your documentation on Wine Online for you. You can decide the extent of service you require and they will meet your specific requirements. 46 Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) The DTI has funds and resources available from the government and offers incentives, financial assistance for overseas travel, and advice for prospective exporters. The DTI is also responsible for monitoring the BEE scheme. 47 Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is a program launched by the South African government to redress the inequalities of Apartheid by giving previously disadvantaged groups (only SA citizens) economic opportunities previously not available to them. It includes measures such as skills development, ownership, management, and preferential procurement. 48 Companies with an annual turnover of less than R5 million are considered as exempted small and micro-enterprises and enjoy a 100% BEE contribution recognition. Once your turnover exceeds R5 million you will enter the qualifying small 20
enterprises category and will have to complete a scorecard rather than being automatically exempt. When your annual turnover is over R5 million you must visit the DTI website to complete and submit your scorecard. 49 Trademark A trademark is a capital asset of a company. It serves the purpose of enhancing a consumer‟s relationship with your wine, thereby becoming a company‟s most important marketing tool. The value in this relationship can be protected through the registration of your trademark. The advantage of registering your trademark is that it gives you exclusive rights for the wine you registered it for. Prior use is not a prerequisite for the registration of a trademark. This is helpful in circumstances when a new brand is being launched. Provided that a trademark registration is renewed every 10 years, trademarks can be protected indefinitely. Applying for a trademark is actually a very straightforward process. CIPRO administers the Register of Trade Marks which is the record of all the trademarks that have been formally applied for and registered in the Republic of South Africa. To get an application form to register a trademark, visit the Cipro website. I applied for my Black Pearl trademark in June 2005 and received my approval certificate in February 2010. The cost was R85 Rand in revenue stamps. Today the registration fee to apply on line is R590 per application. 50 21
