5.6. Proportion restrictions of foreign to domestic goods (local content requirement)  

Complaint

3% of the horticulture produce purchases in Namibia need to be locally sourced before any imports are allowed (as from October 2004)  

Status note

Namibia explained that this is a trade measure and not NTB. The resolution is that only 25% of all horticulture produce has to be sourced in Namibia; however, this figure is determined by the industry themselves.
