Leaders of the East African Community (EAC) have set a June 30, 2026, deadline to eliminate all remaining non-tariff barriers, following a resolution adopted at the 25th Ordinary EAC Summit held on March 7 in Arusha, Tanzania.

These barriers,s ranging from bureaucratic delays and inconsistent standards to restrictive licensing requirements, have long increased the cost and complexity of doing business across the region. The Kenya-Uganda dairy tensions are a glaring example of trade-flow disruption.

Thami Ngubeni spoke to the founder and chairperson of AIMS Capital Associates, Alloys Mutabingwa, about the new deadline that has been set to eliminate all remaining non-tariff barriers in the East African Community.
