EXPORT AUTHORISATION SCHEME FOR CERTAIN TEXTILES TO CANADA
*****
The Department of Commerce and Industry is to implement, from
next Monday, an export authorisation scheme for the export of certain
restrained textile items to Canada.
The Director, Mr. David Jordan, said today that the scheme
would make available to all comers certain unallocated balances of quota
for the export of restrained textiles to Canada during the current textile
year.
He said that all applications must be supported by firm orders
from Canadian buyers; unsubstantiated applications would be rejected.
All applications received before 5 p.m. on December 6 will be
considered together and, if necessary, approved on a proportionate basis.
Applications for any balances remaining after this will be approved
on a first-come-first-served basis.
Full details of the scheme have already been sent to trade
associations and companies concerned, but anyone wanting advance information
should contact Mr, K.C, Kwong on 5-247317 or Mr. C.K. Lai on 5-445666.
