Tariff and Development Board Notice No. 315—Inquiry Concerning Protection for Slate, Marble, Granite, Pebbles, Dolomite, etc., of Tariff Headings 25.14, 25.15, 25.16, 25.17, and 25.18

1. The Minister of Customs has referred to the Tariff and Development Board for inquiry and report the question of the nature and extent of the protection, if any, which it considers appropriate for New Zealand industry in respect of the importation of the goods listed in the attached Schedule. This reference arises from the publication, in a Supplement to the New Zealand Gazette, dated 7 October 1971, of a Notice of Proposed Exemptions from Import Licensing and from representations received in response to that notice.

2. For the purpose of taking evidence the Board will hold a public hearing commencing at 10.30 a.m., on Tuesday, 27 February 1973, in the Hearing Room, Eighth Floor, Cumberland House, Upper Willis Street, Wellington.

3. 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 (page 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”.

4. 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 Tuesday, 6 February 1973. 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.

Dated at Wellington this 24th day of October 1972. C. H. S. RODDEN, Secretary, Tariff and Development Board.

P.O. Box 27046, Wellington.
