dc.description<p>The overall objective of this Study is to review the state of play of used clothing and shoes imports within the region, analyze the implications of the EAC Heads of States ban on Second Hand Clothing (SHC) imports in the EAC Community and examine practical approaches to implementing the ban. A dual approach of literature review and gathering first-hand information through interviews of stakeholders in the EAC was utilized. Overall, the importation of SHC has been growing in all the EAC Partner States with the value imported in the EAC in 2015 amounting to $151 million. SHC are deemed to be cheaper and of better quality than the new clothing available on the market, hence the demand for SHC is quite high in all the Partner States. The SHC are cheaper than the new clothing in all the EAC States and the largest importers of SHC into the EAC are from USA, UK, Canada and China.</p>
