TO GIVE EFFECT TO THE BAN AS MODIFIED, THE DIRECTOR OF TRADE INDUSTRY AND CUSTOMS WILL UNDER THE NEW REGULATIONS INTRODUCE AN IMPORT LICENSING SYSTEM. IMPORT LICENCES WILL NOT BE ISSUED UNLESS THE DIRECTOR OF TRADE INDUSTRY AND CUSTOMS IS SATISFIED THAT THE GOODS FROM ARGENTINA WERE ALREADY ON THE WAY TO HONG KONG BEFORE APRIL 13, OR THAT THEY WERE INTENDED FOR TRANSHIPMENT OR RE-EXPORT TO CHINA.

THE NEW REGULATIONS PRESERVE THE PENALTIES ALREADY INTRODUCED. THEY PROVIDE FOR A FINE OF $500 000 AND IMPRISONMENT FOR TWO YEARS.

NOTICES ARE BEING CIRCULATED BY THE TRADE INDUSTRY AND CUSTOMS DEPARTMENT TO IMPORTERS, SHIPPING COMPANIES, AIRLINES AND OTHER APPROPRIATE ORGANISATIONS INFORMING THEM OF THE IMPORT LICENSING REQUIREMENTS.
