Examen de las políticas comerciales
Último Examen de las Políticas Comerciales (Informe de la Secretaría de la OMC) WT/TPR/S/332/Rev.1
A. Importación prohibiciones, restricciones y licencias de importación
3.43.
Import restrictions and prohibitions are maintained for religious, health, safety, security, and environmental reasons. Maldives prohibits imports of religious materials offensive to Islam, idols for worship, pornographic material, live pigs, narcotics and psychotropic substances. Firearms, explosives, weapons and ammunition can only be imported by the Ministry of Defence and National Security. Goods subject to import permits or special permission are indicated in Table 3.3.
3.44.
Imports of medical products are restricted to approved products from registered importers. In addition to the import licence from the MED, importers must be registered with the MFDA. They can only import products on an approved drugs list maintained by the MFDA. Any registered importer may request the addition of a new product to the list. Provisions related to parallel importing of pharmaceutical products seem to be in place.
3.45.
In accordance with commitments under the Montreal Protocol, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) imports are subject to a quota.[91] A draft legislation related to the import restriction for items containing HCFC has been sent to Parliament.
3.46.
There has been no change to Maldives' import licensing regime, which continues to apply to all imports, including those of items for personal use.[92] Businesses and individuals are required to obtain an import licence in order to engage in the import (or export) of goods.[93] Licences are generally issued by the MCS, on behalf of the MED. An import licence entitles the holder to import goods up to a specified value within a year. Licences are valid for one year from the date of issuance. In accordance with the Revenue Stamp Act, a fee equivalent to 0.1% of the projected transaction (c.i.f. value of imports or f.o.b. value of exports) is collected for the issuance of the licence. The authorities justify the ad valorem nature of the fee on the grounds of revenue generation. The unused portion of the quota is forfeited upon expiration.
3.47.
There are two types of licences: general and temporary. General licences are issued to individuals and companies holding a valid business permit to sell the imported items. However, any registered business can apply for a licence to import materials required for its operation. Occasional importers may apply for a temporary licence.
3.48.
Maldives has not submitted a reply to the questionnaire on import licensing procedures to the WTO Committee on Import Licensing.
B. Exportación prohibiciones y restricciones
3.55.
In general, export prohibitions are imposed to comply with international obligations for environmental, public health and intellectual property reasons. Exports of certain marine species remain prohibited for environmental reasons.[94] Exporters are subject to the same licensing requirements as importers (section 3.2.5).
