FOOTWEAR EXPORT LICENSING LIFTED

****

WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT, EXPORTS OF FOOTWEAR ARE EXEMPT FROM LICENSING CONTROL.

THIS HAS BEEN GIVEN EFFECT BY THE IMPORT AND EXPORT (GENERAL) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT OF SECOND SCHEDULE) ORDER 1983 GAZETTED TODAY (FRIDAY).

ANNOUNCING THIS TODAY, A SPOKESMAN OF THE TRADE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT EXPORT LICENSING OF FOOTWEAR WAS REQUIRED PREVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT WAS AN IMPORT-SENSITIVE ITEM IN THE DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. HOWEVER, RECENT DEVELOPMENTS INDICATED THAT SUCH CONTROL WAS NO LONGER NECESSARY.

THE SPOKESMAN ADDED THAT THE REMOVAL OF FOOTWEAR FROM EXPORT LICENSING CONTROL WAS IN LINE WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S POLICY TO MINIMISE IMPORT AND EXPORT FORMALITIES UNLESS THERE WAS A POSITIVE REASON NOT TO DO SO.
