Committee on Balance-of-Payments Restrictions Original: English

1966 CONSULTATION UNDER ARTICLE XVIII:12(b) WITHCEYLON

Basic Document for the Consultation

1. Legal and administrative basis of import restrictions

The present legal basis for the control of imports is the Import Control ActNo. 9 of 1959. Under this Act, the Government has the power to prohibit or restrictthe importation of any goods and to prescribe any conditions relating to importand export. Import controls enforced under this Act are designed to permit themaximum value of imports consistent with the need to safeguard the country's over-all foreign exchange reserves. The Defence (Miscellaneous) Regulations under whichimport control was administered earlier though superseded by the above Act are yetkept in force by virtue of the Import and Export Control (continuation) Act No. 27of 1950. These Regulations constitute a further legal basis for import control.

Import policy is formulated by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade subject tothe approval of the Cabinet. The responsibility for administering the Regulationsrests with the Controller of Imports and Exports whose office constitutes adepartment of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade.

Details of import policy, of licensing procedures and any changes thereof arepublished in the Ceylon Government Gazette.

2 and 3. Methods used in restricting imports and treatment of imports fromdifferent sources

With effect from 25 November 1964 "Open General Licence" items were alsobrought under licensing.2 All imports are presently subject to individual importlicensing. For purposes of licence control, imports are classified in thefollowing manner:

(a) General quota items for whose import individual import licences arerequired.

(b) Special quota items for whose imports individual import licences arerequired.

1Material supplied by the Governnent of Ceylon. Footnotes added by thesecretariat.

2BOP/33Annex A lists the former Open General Licence items.

BOP/64Page 2

(c) industrial raw materials, accessories and machinery may be imported bymanufacturing industries on "Actual User" basis against individual.import licences.

(d) Requirements of basic agricultural industries and items for personalor specific use by individuals and institutions may be imported on a"Direct User" basis against individual import licences.

(e) Reserved items for which import licences are not released to the trade.

(f) Items for which no licences are issued.

Import subjectto individual licensing

(a) General quota items

Goods appearing in Licensing Schedule No. 2 of Import Control -Notice 48/63may be imported against quota allocations. Quota allocations issued to tradersare determined on the basis of imports made during the years preceding theintroduction of control. These years are 1959 to 1961 for the majority of thecommodities, while for items like foodstuffs and drugs which were brought undercontrol in the recent past, the relevant years are 1962, 1963 and 1964. Firmsor individuals who have made imports of. commodities for which they apply to beregistered as quota holders have to establish that they had imported theidentical commodities during the specific years. An importer is allowed aquota on the basis of his best year's imports. Importers are issued quotaallocations twice each year.

The amount of the quota allowed during a particular half year is dependenton the decisions made by the Foreign Exchange Budget Committee which allocatesthe quantum of exchange that should be set apart for the import of particularcommodities. Based on the quantum of exchange allocated for a particular groupof commodities, an importer is issued a licence covering a particular range ofcommodities based on a generic description. The importer is generally free tomake imports of a particular group of commodities up to the value for which thelicence is issued.

(b) Special quota items

These constitute mainly the residue items not listed under general quotaitems. Imports of those, items may be permitted against individual importslicences depending on the exigencies of each case.

1See Annex B. BOP/33 for list.

BOP/64Page 3

(c) Industrial raw material, accessories and machinery items

Goods appearing in Licensing Schedule No. 5 of Import Control Notice 21/65may be imported by manufacturing industries on an "Actual User" basis.1 ActualUser Licence holders may import goods from any source including Ceylonized areas.Actual User Licences are granted on the recommendation of the Ministry ofIndustries (Development Division) and the Department of Rural Development andSmall Industries.

(d) Direct User Licensing Scheme

Under the Direct User Licensing Scheme individual import licences areissued to approved Direct Users who import goods for their own use and not forre-sale purposes. Under the Scheme, the following are approved Direct Users:

Group (i)

BOP/64Page 4

(f) Items for whïch no licences are issued

No licences are issued for the import of goods which are produced insufficient quantities by local industries.

Other restrictions

The grant of individual import licences is subject to a fee equivalent to1 per cent of the value of goods (except for importers exempt from the paymentof import duties).

Ceylonization of trade

The distinction in licensing procedures for import from different sourcesis made in accordance with the policy of the Government of Ceylon to promote the"Ceylonization" of trade. This is to enable Ceylon nationals to carry on anincreasing proportion of the new import trade. This distinction in licensingprocedures is not intended or operated so as to discriminate against importsfrom different sources.1

Bilateral agreements

Ceylon has trade and payments agreements or arrangements with thirteencountries namely, Bulgaria, the Peoples Republic of China, Czechoslovakia, theDemocratic Republic of Gerarmy, Hungary, Iran, the Democratic People' s Republicof Korea, Poland, Rumania, Syria, the United Arab Republic, the USSR andYugoslavia. These trade agreements contain indicative lists of productsavailable for export from the respective partners to the agreement. The paymentsagreements provide for bilateral clearing accounts through which all paymentsmust be effected.

1 It is understood that only registered Ceylonese traders are permitted toimport from countries in the Ceylonized trade area, which comprises the easterncountries, Austria, Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, the Republic of Korea,Spain and Yugoslavia. Only such traders are authorized, also, to importspecified commodities from any source. The commodities subject to this regulationinclude onions, oilseeds, rice products, footwear, watch parts and the principaltextile products.

BOP/64Page 5

4. Commodities or groups of commodities affected by restrictions

The commodities affected by restrictions are as follows:

(a) General quota items appearing in Licensing Schedule No. 2 of ImportControl Notice 48/63 and supplemented and/or modified by ImportControl Notice 22/64.1

(b) Industrial raw materials, accessories and machinery items as appearingin Licensing Schedule No. 5 of Import Control Notice 21/65. The listis contained in Annex A.

5. Use of State trading or Government monopoly in restrictingimports

The Government (Food Department) is the sole importer of paddy, rice,wheat, flour, sugar, maldive fish, red onions, lentils and dhal. The Co-operativeWholesale Establishment is the sole importer of cummin seed, tamarind, raisins,sultanas, cane jaggery (sakkara) , dried fish, tinned fish, dried chillies,mustard seed and textiles.

(b) National Textile Corporation - cotton yarn.

(c) Ceylon Cement Corporation - cement.

(d) Ceylon Oils and Fats Corporation - foodstuffs for animals and maize.

(e) Ceylon Petroleum Corporation - petroleum and petroleum products,lubricating oils and greases.

(f) Paranthan Chemicals Corporation - caustic soda.

1Notice 48/63 is in Annex B, BOP/33. The textof Notice 22/64 has not beenreceived but it is understood that this Notice added all foods which had up tothen been on Open General Licence (as show in Annex A, BOP/33) to the generalquota list.

BOP/64Page 6

The Government or Government .agencies and State Corporatïons have a monopolyon the import of these items in order to secure adequate supplies and fairdistribution.

6. Measure's taken since the otherwisemodifyingimport restrictions

(1) By Import Control Notice 22/64 dated 25 November 1964 an individualimport licence is required for the importation; of food items from anysource.

(2) By Import Control Notices 26/64 and 27/64 bath dated 19 December 1964additional proprietary drugs -and veterinary dru-s appearing therein maybe imported on licences. This list was added to by Import ControlNotices 14/65, 27/65, 5/66, 14/66 and 18/66.1

(3) By Import Control Notice 2/65 dated 18 January 1965 items appearingtherein were reserved exclusively for importation by particular StateCorporations (AnnexB).

(4) By Import Control Notice 21/65 date, 6 October 1965 a revisedSchedule No. 5 was published for import of goods against Actual UserLicences. This replaced Schedule No. 5 issued with Import ControlNotice 51/63 dated 12 December 1963 (Annex A).

(5) By Import Control Notice 24/66 dated 9 August 1966, domestic electricappliances appearing therein may be imported on licences.

7. Effects of restrictions on trade

At the end of 1963 the coverage of individual import licensing arrangementshad extended to approximately 57 per centof imports (measured in terms of importsduring that year). These imports amounted to R849 million in 1963. Theprincipal restriction introduced during 1964 and 1965 was that dated25 December 1964 affecting items of foodstuffs. Imports af these foodstuffsamounted to R398 million and R307 million in 1964 and 1965 respectively, or4.96 per cent and 4.80 per cent of total imports in 1964 and 1965 respectively.Calculation of the coverage is necessarily approximate in as much as customs datado not always lend themselves to identification of particular items of importsselected for restriction.2

¹Texts of most of these orders are available in the secretariat. They appearto amend a basic text (Notice 25/64) which has not been submitted, by adding variousdrugs to a list of products which may be imported under licence.

²Most of the remainder of Ceylon's imports consisted of imports by the FoodCommissioner's Department and other Government departments.
