Board of Trade Notice No. 4.—Review of Import Licensing

NOTICE is hereby given—

(a) That the Board of Trade proposes to consider the question of recommending the exemption from import licensing in respect of goods from other than scheduled countries comprised in 162 items (List No. 3) as set out in the 1951 Import Licensing Schedule ;

(b) That persons, firms, or organizations considering themselves or their members likely to be materially affected by the exemption from licensing of any particular item, and desirous of lodging an objection thereto, must do so in writing by sending five copies of the statement of objection addressed to the undersigned so as to reach him on or before 29th June, 1951 ; and

(c) That the fact that no objection is lodged against the removal of import licensing in respect of any particular item will not prejudice the right of any person, firm, or organization to represent to the Board at a later date that the rates of tariff duty on that item should be reviewed.

List No. 3 includes a wide range of goods, many of which are of a kind made in New Zealand. This notice does not justify any assumption that any item in the list will be exempted from the need for a licence or that any goods comprised in such list which are ordered without a licence will be permitted to be imported. Copies of the list may be obtained on and after Tuesday, 22nd May, from Collectors of Customs, Offices of the Department of Industries and Commerce, or direct from the undersigned.

Board of Trade, G.P.O. Box 494, Wellington.

Board of Trade, Wellington, 16th May, 1951.

R. F. WILSON, Secretary.

REVIEW OF IMPORT LICENSING.—LIST NO. 3

Preliminary Notes

  1. Five copies of the statement of objection are required. The statement should show concisely the principal grounds for objection to de-control. It should be framed in numbered paragraphs.

  2. Where objection is made to any item, the objection must be set out in detail against that item even though it may involve repetition.

  3. Each statement of objection should be headed with the reference number, tariff item number, and brief description of the item, e.g. :

No. 351 T.I. 36 (4) Apples, dried.

  1. It is desired that wherever possible statements of objection should be made by national trade associations, but such statement in respect of any item will not preclude consideration of representations from any person or firm writing direct to the Board.

  2. If any person, firm, or organization is in doubt as to whether particular goods are classified within any of the items in the list, inquiry should be made of the local Collector of Customs.
