It is hereby made known that, in terms of section 10 of the Marketing of Agricultural Products
                  Act, 1996 (Act No.47 of 1996) (MAP Act), that the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and
                  Fisheries has received a request from the Association of Meat Importers and Exporters (AMIE)
                  for the establishment of statutory measures relating to levies, registration, the keeping of
                  records and rendering of returns. The applicant for the proposed statutory measures is AMIE,
                  an association founded in 1996, which was established due to a need by meat and poultry
                  importers and exporters, for a mouthpiece to speak on their behalf and to look after the

interests of its members.

AMIE proposed a statutory levy of 2c/kg (excluding VAT) on imported chicken products. The
                  proposed levy on the different chicken products will be a follows:

                       Classification             Product Description             (excluding Vat)
                         0207.12.10       Mechanically Deboned Meat                    2c/kg
