The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is a U.S. trade preference program that allows virtually all goods produced in AGOA-eligible countries to enter the U.S. market duty-free. Currently, 39 countries are eligible for AGOA benefits, including all 15 West African countries. As an integral part of the U.S. Government’s Prosper Africa initiative, the Trade Hub provides support to West African businesses and U.S. importers to take advantage of AGOA benefits.
