African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) allows duty-free importation of goods from designated sub-Saharan African countries. The program was authorized in 2000 and is intended to promote good governance through economic development and access to free markets. It will expire in September 2025, and it remains uncertain whether Congress will reauthorize it.
