COFFEE IMPORTS LICENCE NO LONGER NECESSARY
Coffee importers need no longer apply for import licences to
cover coffee imports into Hong Kong, Mr. M.D. Sargant, Assistant
Director of Commerce and Industry announced today.
The Import (Coffee) Regulations, he explained, had been revoked
on the advice of the Executive Council in view of recent modifications
to the International Coffee Agreement.
Mr. Sargant reminded coffee exporters, however, that export
licences were still required for processed coffee - namely roasted
-
and soluble coffee for health and safety purposes, under the Import
and Export (General) Regulations.
