Committee on Balance-of-PaymentsRestrictions

1962 CONSULTATIONS UNDER ARTICLE XVIII: 12(b) WITH

P A K I S T A N

Basic Document for the Consultation¹

1. Legal and administrative basis of the restrictions

The statutory basis of import restrictions in Pakistan is the Imports andExports (Control) Act of 1950, as amended. Under the authority of the Act, theGovernment issues orders showing items that may be imported and other instructionsregarding imports. The Act is administered by the Ministry of Commerce.

Functioning under the Ministry is a special Committee established toallocate, for the different regions of the country, the foreign exchangeavailable for commercial imports among different categories of goods. TheCommittee is composed of representatives of different government departmentswhich have an interest in import policy and of representatives of the provincialgovernments. Also under the Ministry of Commerce are the Chief Controller ofImports and Exports and two Regional Controllers for West and East Pakistanrespectively. The Chief Controller presides over a Licensing Board in whichthe Ministers of Finance and Industry are represented and the Regional Con-troller presides over similar Licensing Boards which include representativesof the provincial governments.

Before being permitted to engage in trade all importers and exporters, inaccordance with the Registration (Importers and Exporters) Order of 1952, mustregister themselves with the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports. Importcontrol orders are published in the Official Gazette of Pakistan.

¹Prepared by the secretariat on the basis of available information, andcirculated subject to verification and amendment by the authorities of Pakistan.

2. Methods used in restricting imports

The import policy in force during the current half year licensing periodis designed to continue the liberal pattern of import and to provide maximumfacilities for import of essential goods and industrial raw materials.

All imports are subject to licence however, except goods imported by thecentral government for defence purposes, goods for which orders are placeddirectly by departments of the central government, goods in transit, certainother types of imports such as passenger baggage and certain goods importedover the land route from Iran.

Goods for which import licences are proposed to be issued during thelicensing period January-June 1962 are listed in Annex I(a) to this documents.Licences will be valid for import of all goods and commodities covered by thelist except such goods and commodities which have been specifically excluded.Separate notifications will be issued for any other items which the Governmentmay wish to include in this list. Certain goods not included in this list areimportable under the facilities of export bonus vouchers, and for non-commercialimports, under individual licence.

A distinction is made in administering the import control system betweenindustrial users and commercial importers. Special provisions exist foradmitting qualified newcomers as importers. Certain imports (those marked withan asterisk in the list of importable items reproduced in the Annex) arereserved to industrial consumers.

Imports are admitted under the following categories:

I. Open general licence

II. Automatic licensing

III. Industrial licensing

IV. Imports under export bonus vouchers

V. Imports under individual licensing.

I. Open general licence

Forty-eight items, mainly industrial raw materials and parts; metals;certain tools and workshop equipment; trucks and buses; motorcycles andscooters and parts and accessories of all motor vehicles; books; scientificand medical apparatus and instruments: certain office equipment; mostvegetable seeds arnd living plants are importable under Open general Licence(see Annex I(b), for a detailed listing). Registration and/or issue of licencesunder Open General Licence are restricted to resident national of Pakistan andto firms, business houses and institutions wholly owned by resident Pakistaninationals.

BOP/4

II. Automatic licensing

The fourteen items listed below are subject to automatic licensing

For these items importers are entitled to apply for another licence on productionof Bill of Lading duly certified by a scheduled bank and accompanied by relevantinvoices for 75 per cent or more of the value of the earlier licence. Initialand repeat licences to commercial importers are issued at 100 per cent (75 percent for electrodes, shaving brushes and toothbrushes; 25 per cent for condensedmilk) of the value of the earlier licence.

III. Industrial licensing

Under the system of industrial licensing three licensing categories may bedistinguished:

(a) request basis licensing(b) "automatic licensing" and

(c) other.

(a)Request basis licensing

During the period January-June 1962 licence applications for goods on thelicensable import list will be granted:

(i) in the amounts applied to the following industries: sports goods;surgical instruments; gaur gum; tanning; musical instruments; carpetmaking and bonemeal;

(ii) at 80 per cent (initial licence) of the value licensed during July-December 1961 to the following industries: absorbent cotton; bootpolish; brass water fittings; biscuit and confectionery; cosmetics;cutlery; centrifugal pumps; diesel engines; electric fans; fountainpens; food and fish canning and preservation; hosiery (yarn restricted)

BOP/4

The issue of further licences will depend on the export performanceof the licensed applicant. Industrial units are entitled to additionallicensing equal to 100 per cent of the f.o.b. value of their exports.

(iii) on "request basis" (to some 120 industries) for such amounts asm.ay be asked for by the industrial consumer to meet his requirements ofraw materials and spare parts for the next twelve months, provided therequest is reasonable and responsible. Some of the industries falling underthis category are: accumulators and batteries; automobile workshops;asbestos sheets; asphalt and bitumen; builders hardware; board and paper;cement; cereal manufactures; cycles and parts; dairy; distilleries;domestic sewing machines; electric motors and transformer; electricaccessories; fisheries; light and heavy chemicals; metal fabrication;ice and cold storage; pig iron; paper products; pigment and dry colours;scientific instruments; small machine tools; stoves and pressure lamps;tea estates; weights and scales; wire netting.(For a complete list seeAnnex 2)

Industrial consumers are required to produce evidence of utilization of licencesduring 1961 before the new licence can be granted. Utilization in this contextmeans opening of irrevocable letters of credit for 100 per cent of the value,or shipment of at least 75 per cent of the value of the earlier licences. Casesin which evidence of utilization is not forthcoming are decided on their meritsby the licensing authority concerned.

(b) "Automatic licensing"

The thirty-six industries listed below receive initial licences and repeatlicences at 100 per cent of assessed single shift capacity for raw materialsas well as spare parts. Industrial consumers are required to produce evidenceof utilization of licence during 1961 before issue of initial licence forJanuary-June 1962. Utilization, both for initial and repeat licences, meansproduction of Bill, of Entry for 75 per cent or more of the value of earlierlicences.

BOP/4

Industries under "automatic licensing":) agricultural implements; autopiston (auto parts); balinghoops and G.I.wire; barrels, bucketsand pails; bobbins; bucket riding; brushes; cigarettes andcigars (excluding tobacco); clocks; drums; dye mixing; enamelledware;electric generation; electric casings; furniture (steel safes and almirahs);gas mantles (excluding art-silk yarn); jute baling industry; journals,magazines and newspapers; miscellaneous engineering; oil companies (tin-plato); parcel tapes (excluding art-silk yarn); re-rolling mills; rickshaws;stationery; ship building; tin containers; textile machinery parts; teaplanting and packing (tea restricted); tramcars; umbrella and fittings;vegetable ghee (except cottonseed/soyabean oil); wire nails; doors andwindows; wire drawing; wood screws and rivets: water proofing textiles.

(c) Other

The licensing factor of industries not covered under (a) and (b) above isannounced by the licensing authorities concerned. A scheme is under preparationwhich will enable these industries to obtain additional raw materials againstfirm export orders. Also, provision will be made under the proposed scheme foradditional import facilites for balancing and modernization of equipment wherethese are found necessary to improve the export performances of the industry con-cerned.

To enable industrial consumers to plan their imports on a realistic basisthey are allowed to indicate the amount up to which they desire to import variousitems of their approved requirements within their entitlements. Licenceapplications for a value lower than the entitlement are without prejudice tofuture licensing.

IV. Imports under export bonus scheme

Under this scheme, which is scheduled to be in operation until June 1965,exporters of a wide range of commodities (except raw jute, raw cotton, wool,most hides and skins and most varieties of rice) are entitled to negeotiablebonus vouchers for a specified percentage of the f.o.b. value of their exports.

With these vouchers the exporters concerned may apply for a licence forthe import of one or more items included in a list of more than 250 items,(spare parts, capital goods and consumer goods including motor cars and certainelectric appliances). Bonus vouchers are also granted for a certified percentageof the net foreign exchange earnings from aircraft and ship repairs, salvageoperations and shipping. The scheme does not apply to exports under barterarrangement or other transactions which do not bring foreign exchange.

The export bonus percentages are;

20 per cent for export of jute manufactures, certain cotton manu-factures (except yarn), most unprocessed commodities, certainservice exports,and40 per cent for practically all manufactures excluding those ofjute and cotton.

BOP/4

V. Imports under individual licensing

Apart from the regular licensing scheme, applications for individuallicences to import particular products for the applicant' s own use, or foremergency replacement of products and machinery, are favourably considered bythe licensing authority, if these are considered as justified imports.

3. Treatment of imports from different sources

Licences are valid for all countries except in the case of licences forimports under Aid/Loan, or licences issued for specific countries in accordancewith any trade agreement.

Pakistan has bilateral trade agreements with sixteen countries. With afew exceptions these agreements contain indicative list only of commoditiesavailable for export from the partners to the agreement. Only the agreementswith Burma, the Federal Republic of Germany and India contain quota provisions.

In recent years certain exports, (cotton, jute, raw wool, carpets, bootsand shoes and certain other products) were effected under special barter arrange-ments. Compensating imports into Pakistan under these barter transactionsincluded coal, cement, certain chemicals, rice, steel rollers and watches.

4. Commodities or groups of commodities affected by various forms ofrestrictions (See under 2 above)

5. Use of State trading or government monopoly in restricting imports

State trading is limited to certain essential foodstuffs (e.g. wheat andrice) and coal. State trading for these commodities is maintained for thepurpose of ensuring equitable marketing and adequate supplies at reasonableprices to the local population.

6. Measures in relaxing or otherwise modifying restrictions

Since the time of the last consultation a number of measures were put intoeffect designed to further improve import possibilities into Pakistan foressential industrial and consumer items.

Under the import policy for the six-month period ending 31 December 1960,Pakistan extended the coverage of automatic licensing, which had previouslyonly applied to drugs and medicines, to twenty-eight additional items, mainlyessential consumer goods and key industrial raw materials. In the subsequenthalf-yearly licensing period thirty-three additional items were transferred tothe automatic licensing scheme. This was followed by the introduction of aregulated Open General Licence for eleven important commodities. Under theimport policy for the second half of 1961 the number of items importable underOpen General Licence was increased to forty-nine leaving fourteen items underautomatic licensing.

BOP/4

The import policy for the current licensing period continues the liberalpattern and is in conformity with the intention of the Government of Pakistanto provide maximum facilities for import of essential goods and industrial rawmaterials.
