Preferential access creates an option. Competitiveness depends on origin, compliance, product choice, cost and delivery.
Preference is not performance
A tariff preference is valuable only when a product qualifies, the origin can be evidenced and the exporter can meet the buyer's commercial requirements.
Readiness is product-specific
Sector headlines conceal the real decision. Eligibility, sourcing, transformation, certification, standards, price and logistics must be tested at product level.
Use the window deliberately
The strategic task is to identify where Mauritius can combine preference with trust, speed, compliance and niche capability rather than compete only on scale.
