Tariff and Development Board Notice No. 307—Inquiry
Concerning Protection Affecting the New Zealand Industry
Producing Monofilament for Use as Fishing Lines (Ex
Tariff Items 39.01.041, 39.01.049, 39.02.041, 39.02.049,
51.02.009, 51.02.109)

1. Following receipt by the Minister of Customs of a report
   by the Emergency Protection Authority, the Government has
   accepted the recommendation of the Authority that the exemp-
   tion under item codes 39.095 and 50.135 for monofilament, not
   put up for retail sale, on declaration for use as fishing lines be
   withdrawn. The Authority proposed that the monofilament of
   item code 39.095 should be transferred to item code 39.120,
   and that of item code 50.135 be given a new item code with
   an allocation of 50 percent of the value of the same goods
   imported in the 1970–71 period. Additionally the Authority
   recommended that monofilament packed for retail sale as
   fishing line and at that time included in item code 50.190 be
   transferred to the new item code recommended above, and
   within the same allocation. However, in order to maintain
   New Zealand’s obligation to Australia under the provisions of
   the NAFTA, Government has decided that import licensing
   will not be reimposed on nylon monofilament of Australian
   origin, classified in Tariff item 51.02.009. The appropriate
   amendments to the import licensing provisions took effect on
   6 October 1972.

2. In accordance with the provisions of the Tariff and
   Development Board Act, the Minister of Customs has requested
   the Board to undertake an inquiry and report on what
   permanent form of protection, if any, it considers necessary
   to protect the New Zealand industry in relation to the impor-
   tation of monofilament for use as fishing line, classified in
   Tariff items 39.01.041, 39.01.049, 39.02.041, 39.02.049, 51.02.009
   and 51.02.109.

3. The attention of interested parties is drawn to the fact that
   the Board has already given notice of its intention to conduct a
   public hearing affecting all the goods of Tariff items 39.01.041,
   39.01.049, 39.02.041 and 39.02.049, including monofil, in Tariff
   and Development Board Notice No. 281 (New Zealand Gazette
   dated 29 June 1972). This hearing will take place, as advertised,
   on Thursday, 9 November 1972, and any representations made
   at it affecting monofilament for use as fishing line, and classi-
   fied within the above four Tariff items, will be taken into
   account by the Board in reaching its conclusions on these
   goods in terms of the current reference. It will not be neces-
   sary, therefore, for parties presenting evidence on monofila-
   ment for use as fishing line at the public hearing on 9
   November to resubmit evidence at the public hearing notified
   in paragraph 4 below. Parties may, however, tender supplemen-
   tary evidence affecting monofilament for use as fishing lines at
   the later hearing and should lodge new representations if they
   wish to be heard on monofilament for use as fishing line of
   Tariff items 51.02.009 and 51.02.109.

4. The Board will, in accordance with its normal procedures,
   conduct a public hearing in the Committee Room, Seventh
   Floor, Cumberland House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington, on
   Friday, 15 December 1972, commencing at 10.30 a.m.

5. Parties intending to make representations or requests
   about appropriate rates of customs duty are asked to take
   into account the statement by the Minister of Overseas Trade
   of 6 September 1972 about changes in the New Zealand
   Customs Tariff. Copies of this statement can be obtained from
   the undersigned. Parties intending to make representations or
   requests about the exemption from import licensing of goods
   at present not so exempt are asked to take into account the
   statement in the 1972 Financial Statement (p. 19) that “the
   Government has also decided that where the industry is to be
   exempted from import licensing there should be provision in
   appropriate cases for a phase-out period which in general will
   be for up to three years”.

6. Any person who intends to tender evidence should lodge,
   in typewritten form, 14 copies of public evidence and 12 copies
   of confidential evidence, to be presented under oath at the
   public hearing, at the Board’s office no later than Friday, 1
   December 1972. In preparing this evidence the “Notes for
   Information and Guidance of Interested Parties” prepared by
   the Board may be of assistance. Copies of these notes may be
   obtained from the Board’s office.

   Notice of Proposed Exemptions from Import Licensing and from representations received in response to that notice.
