USDA Listed Wakanda Exports

In December 2019, people discovered that the U.S. Department of Agriculture had listed Wakanda, Marvel’s fictional African nation, as a free-trade partner in an online tariff-tracking system. The entry even included supposed exports like ducks, donkeys, and dairy cows. After the error went public, the USDA said Wakanda had been added accidentally during a staff test and removed it from the system.
