GENERAL AGREEMENT ON
TARIFFS AND TRADE
Committee on Balance-of-Payments Restrictions
1962 CONSULTATIONS UNDER ARTICLE XVIII:12(b) WITH
P A K I S T A N
Basic Document for the Consultation
1. Legal and administrative basis of the restrictions
The statutory basis of import restrictions in Pakistan is the Imports and Exports (Control) Act of 1950, as amended. Under the authority of the Act, the Government issues orders showing items that may be imported and other instructions regarding imports. The Act is administered by the Ministry of Commerce.
Functioning under the Ministry is a special Committee established to allocate, for the different regions of the country, the foreign exchange available for commercial imports among different categories of goods. The Committee is composed of representatives of different government departments which have an interest in import policy and of representatives of the provincial governments. Also under the Ministry of Commerce are the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports and two Regional Controllers for West and East Pakistan respectively. The Chief Controller presides over a Licensing Board in which the Ministers of Finance and Industry are represented and the Regional Controller presides over similar Licensing Boards which include representatives of the provincial governments.
Before being permitted to engage in trade all importers and exporters, in accordance with the Registration (Importers and Exporters) Order of 1952, must register themselves with the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports. Import control orders are published in the Official Gazette of Pakistan.
Prepared by the secretariat on the basis of available information, and circulated 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 period is designed to continue the liberal pattern of import and to provide maximum facilities for import of essential goods and industx'ial raw materials <.
All imports are subject to licence however, except goods imported by the central government for defence purposes, goods for which orders are placed directly by departments of the central government, goods in transit, certain other types of imports such as passenger baggage and certain goods imported over the land route from Iran.
Goods for which import licences are proposed to be issued during the licensing period January-June 1962 are listed in Annex I (a) to this document «, Licences will be valid for import of all goods and commodities covered by the list except such goods and commodities which have been specifically excluded. Separate notifications will be issued for any other items which the Government may wish to include in this list, Certain goods not included in this list are importable under the facilities of export bonus vouchers, and for non-commercial imports, under individual licence.
A distinction is made in administering the import control system between industrial users and commercial importers. Special provisions exist for admitting qualified newcomers as importers. Certain imports (those marked with an asterisk in the list of importable items reproduced in the Annex) are reserved to industrial consumers.
Imports are admitted under the following categories:
I. Open general licence
II. Automatic licensing
H I . 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 and scooters and parts and accessories of all motor vehicles; books; scientific and medical apparatus and instruments; certain office equipment; most vegetable seeds and living plants are importable under Open General Licence (see Annex 1(b), for a detailed listing). Registration and/or issue of licences under Open General Licence are restricted to resident nationals of Pakistan and to firms, business houses and institutions wholly owned by resident Pakistani nationals.
B0P/4 Page 3
II. Automatic licensing
The fourteen items- listed below are subject to automatic licensing
(a) Industrial items
Explosives; limestone (for East Pakistan only); all sorts of electrodes (for East Pakistan only); suitcase locks and fittings including safe locks and automatic door locks; brake fluid; lubricants; unframed optical lenses; canes and rattans; glue, gums and resins including lac and shellac; nylon twine for the fishing industry.
(b) Consumer items
Photographic films, plates and paper, including sensitized paper; condensed milk (for East Pakistan only); shaving brushes and toothbrushes.
For these items importers are entitled to apply for another licence on production of Bill of Lading duly certified by a scheduled bank and accompanied by relevant invoices for 75 per cent or more of the value of the earlier licence. Initial and repeat licences to commercial importers are. issued at 100 per cent (75 per cent for electrodes, shaving brushes and toothbrushes; 25 per cent for condensed milk) of the value of the earlier licence.
III. Industrial licensing
Under the system of industrial licensing three licensing categories may be distinguished :
(a) request basis licensing
(b) "automatic licensing" and
(c) other.
(a) Request ba.sis licensing . . .
During the period January-June 1962 licence applications for goods on the licensable import list will be granted:
(i) in the amounts applied to the following industries: sports goods; surgical instruments; gaur gum; tanning; musical instruments; carpet making and bonemeal;
(ii) at 80 per cent (initial licence) of the value licensed during July-December 196l to the following industries: absorbent cotton; boot polish; brass water fittings; biscuit and confectionery; cosmetics; cutlery; centrifugal pumps; diesel engines; electric fans; fountain pens; food and fish canning and preservation; hosiery (yarn restricted)
BOP/4 Page 4

The issue of further licences will depend on the export performance of the licensed applicant. Industrial units are entitled to additional licensing 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 as may be asked for by the industrial consumer to meet his requirements of raw materials and spare parts for the next twelve months, provided the request is reasonpblt and responsible. Some of the industries falling under this 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 transformers; electric accessories; 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 see Annex 2)
Industrial consumers are required to produce evidence of utilization of licences during 1961 before the new licence can be granted. Utilization in this context means 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. Cases in which evidence of utilization is not forthcoming are decided on their merits by the licensing authority concerned.
•(b) "Automatic licensing"
The thirty-six industries listed below receive initial licences and repeat licences at 100 per cent of assessed single shift capacity for raw materials as well as spare parts. Industrial consumers are required to produce evidence of utilization of licence during 1961 before issue of initial licence for January-June 1962. Utilization, both for initial and repeat licences, means production of Bill of Entry for 75 per cent or more of the value of earlier licences» ^ - -.---
BOP/4 Page 5
(Industries under "automatic licensing":) agricultural implements; auto piston (auto parts); baling hoops and G.I. wire; barrels, buckets and pails; bobbins; bucket ridging; brushes; cigarettes and cigars (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-plate); parcel tapes (excluding art-silk yarn); re-rolling mills; rickshaws; stationery; ship building; tin containers; textile machinery parts; tea planting and packing (tea restricted); tramcars; umbrella and fittings; vegetable ghee (except cottonseed/soyabean oil); wire nails; doors and windows; wire drawing; wood screws and rivets; water proofing textiles.
(c) Other
The licensing factor of industries not covered under (a) and (b) above is announced by the licensing authorities concerned. A scheme is under preparation which will enable these industries to obtain additional raw materials against firm export orders. Also, provision will be made under the proposed scheme for additional import facilities for balancing and modernization of equipment where these are found necessary to improve the export performance of the industry concerned.
To enable industrial consumers to plan their imports on a realistic basis they are allowed to indicate the amount up to which they desire to import various items of their approved requirements within their_entitlements. Licence applications for a value lower than the entitlement are without prejudice to future licensing.
TV. 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 negotiable bonus 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 for the 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 certain electric appliances). Bonus vouchers are also granted for a certified percentage of the net foreign exchange earnings from aircraft and ship repairs, salvage operations and shipping. The scheme does not apply to exports under barter arrangement or other transactions which do not bring foreign exchange.
The export bonus percentages are;
20 per cent for export of jute manufactures, certain cotton manufactures (except yarn), most unprocessed commodities, certain service exports,and 40 per cent for practically all manufactures excluding those of jute and cotton.
BOP/4 Page 6
V. Imports under Individual licensing
Apart from the regular licensing scheme, applications for individual licences to import particular products for the applicant's own use, or for emergency replacement of products and machinery, are favourably considered by the 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 for imports under Aid/Loan, or licences issued for specific countries in accordance with any trade agreement.
Pakistan has bilateral trade agreements with sixteen countries. With a few exceptions these agreements contain indicative list only of commodities available for export from the partners to the agreement. Only the agreements with Burma, the Federal Republic of Germany and India contain quota provisions.
In recent years certain exports, (cotton, jute, raw wool, carpets, boots and shoes and certain other products) were effected under special barter arrangements* Compensating imports into Pakistan under these barter transactions included coal, cement, certain chemicals, rice, steel rollers and watches.
4. Commodities or groups of commodities affected by various forms of restrictions (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 and rice) and coal. State trading for these commodities is maintained for the purpose of ensuring equitable marketing and adequate supplies at reasonable prices 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 into effect designed to further improve import possibilities into Pakistan for essential industrial and consumer itemsc
Under the import policy for the six-month period ending 31 December I960, Pakistan extended the coverage of automatic licensing, which had previously only applied to drugs and medicines, to twenty-eight additional items, mainly essential consumer goods and key industrial raw materials. In the subsequent half-yearly licensing period thirty-three additional items were transferred to the automatic licensing scheme. This was followed by the introduction of a regulated Open General Licence for eleven important commodities. Under the import policy for the second half of 196l the number of items importable under Open General Licence was increased to forty-nine leaving fourteen items under automatic licensing.
BOP/4 Page f
The import policy for the current licensing period continues the liberal pattern and is in conformity with the intention of the Government of Pakistan to provide maximum facilities for import of essential goods and industrial raw materials.
