To send a tender to Africa Trade Forum implies explicitly the sender agrees to pay a commission to SCAC Inc. for any sale done to a customer from our web sites or with SCAC business services assistance.
Commissions rates displayed on Africa Trade Forum are exclusive of taxes (applicable for deals in Canada only)
When a transaction is completed, the seller owes Africa Trade Forum / SCAC Inc Montreal a "Success Fee" for our matchmaking service. This commission (excluding taxes, if any, and bank fees) is calculated as a nominal percentage of the whole amount of the transaction (FOB basis only), as shown in the table below:

Example: for a transaction of food product amounting to USD 120,000 the applicable rate is 1,5%. from 1 to 50,000 USD, 1% from 50,001 to 100,000 USD and 0.5% from 100,001 USD to 120,000 USD. Therefore, the seller owes SCAC Network a commission of USD 750 USD + 500 USD + 100 USD = 1,350 USD net.
Subscribers can deduce up to 50% of commissions up to annual subscription fees amount.
