Import Licences
Sir, —The recent cuts in Import licences have specified for one particular group a reduction of 20 per cent. Receipt of the new licence from the Customs to cover the new licensing period showed that this had been reduced by 25 per cent. When this error was pointed out the department advised that the procedure adopted was in fact correct and that it was over,to individual licence-holders to make application for the difference between the amount of licence issued and what the correct amount should be. Why should not the licences have been issued for the amount granted last year less 20 per cent and thereby obviate all this nonsense of further applications involving extra time and work?—Yours, etc., IRATE IMPORTER. April 20, 1966. [The acting District Collector of Customs (Mr J. W. Raleigh) replies: “It would appear that the correspondent is concerned with an aggregate licence issued under group 601, and I would refer him to paragraphs 19-26 of the information section of the licensing schedule which set out the procedure for the issue of licences under the aggregation scheme.”]
