Board of Trade Notice No. 1.—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 145 items (List No. 1) 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 addressed to the undersigned so as to reach him on or before 16th March, 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. 1 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 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.

R. F. WILSON, Acting Secretary.

REVIEW OF IMPORT LICENSING.—LIST No. 1
Preliminary Notes

  1. Representations should state concisely the principal grounds for objection to de-control.
  2. It is desired that five copies of representations should be submitted. It would be helpful if paragraphs were numbered.
  3. Separate representations should be made in respect of each item in the list.
  4. Representations should be headed with the reference number, tariff item number, and brief description of the item, e.g.:—

No. 5 Ex T.I. 16 (2) Chocolate, &c.

  1. It is desired that wherever possible representations should be made by national trade associations, but such representations 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 this list, inquiry should be made of the local Collector of Customs.
