MAKES EXPORT SUPPORT<br />

JUST A CLICK AWAY<br />

The export sector is one of the critical pillars underpinning<br />

the economic growth trajectory in <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong>.<br />

Exports play a fundamental role in making business<br />

thrive both domestically and on a global scale, and<br />

are critical not only for foreign exchange earnings but<br />

also employment creation and poverty alleviation. It is in<br />

this vein that the <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong> Information Portal has<br />

been developed, to be a conduit towards the<br />

improvement of provincial export promotion efforts,<br />

and to act as a one-stop information shop for<br />

export role-players in the province.<br />

The <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong> Export Information Portal is an easyto-use<br />

online resource that not only showcases products<br />

and services that are exportable from <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong> but<br />

also provides a streamlined access point to acquire<br />

all relevant export-related information.<br />

The <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong> Export Information Portal is funded<br />

by the Department of Economic Development, Tourism<br />

and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) and implemented<br />

by Trade & Investment <strong>KwaZulu</strong>-<strong>Natal</strong> (TIKZN). The<br />

key deliverable of the project is the development of the<br />

web portal that will support the drive to promote export<br />

activity and thus increase the generation of foreign<br />

revenue for the province and for South Africa.<br />

Some of the key features of the portal include:<br />

• Product and sector fact sheets<br />

• Information on INCOTERMS<br />

• Useful export journals<br />

• Trade tariffs<br />

• Country profi les and information on trade blocs<br />

• Information on export councils and industry<br />

associations<br />

• The opportunity to upload company profi les<br />

• Products and services on a self-managed platform<br />

• Online trade enquires routed directly to the company<br />

of interest<br />

• Search capability for exporters, freight forwarders<br />

and handling agents, etc.<br />

The portal will also provide access to useful export<br />

tracking tools and a calendar of export-related events.<br />

Key features of the portal include multi-level search<br />

capabilities, effi cient access to resource information<br />

and an easy-to-use interface.<br />
