Examen de politique commerciale
Dernier examen de politique commerciale (Rapport du Secrétariat de l'OMC): WT/TPR/S/381/Rev.1
A. Prohibitions et restrictions à l'importation et licences d'importation
3.41.
According to the Export and Import Control Act 1957, Nepal may prohibit or restrict imports of certain goods on the grounds of: protection of national security; protection of public decency, order or morals; protection of life or health of humans, animals or plants; protection of national treasures of artistic, historic or archaeological value; conservation of natural resources; compliance with the provisions of any legislation of the Government; ensuring the availability of raw materials essential for domestic processing industries with potential for competitive capacity; and the fulfilment of obligations under the UN Charter and any multilateral conventions or bilateral agreement to which Nepal is a party. Accordingly, the products as outlined in Table 3.8 are subject to import prohibitions in Nepal. Importations of used automobiles are also prohibited except when imported by diplomats.
3.42.
As per notifications made to the WTO, Nepal requires import licences or permits for certain items: arms and ammunition; tobacco; specific communications equipment; ozone depleting substances (ODS); poppy seeds; and furnace oil and petroleum products including LPG. The system is applied in the same manner to goods originating in all countries. For imports of arms and ammunition, and specified telecommunication equipment, the Department of Commerce, Supply and Consumer Protection in the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies issues licences automatically under the recommendation of the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, respectively. No recommendation is required to issue import licences for tobacco. An import licence is also compulsory for goods imported without a banking channel, or goods imported on donation or free of charge. Nepal's most recent notification under Article 7.3 of the Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures was in 2015.[85]
3.43.
The import licensing regime is regulated by the Export and Import Control Act 1957 and the Import Regulation 1978, and is administered by the Department of Commerce, Supplies and Consumer Protection. As per the Act, the Government has the authority to suspend or impose licensing requirements, provided that such actions are published in the Nepal Gazette.
3.44.
Non-automatic import licensing is required for the products in Table 3.9. Individuals importing for personal use, registered companies, and government owned enterprises are eligible to apply for import licences. An application for a licence is processed the same day or the following day, and the licence is generally issued for a period of six months, with the possibility of an extension for an additional six months. Depending on the value of the imports, an import licence fee ranging from NR 5,000 to NR 10,000 is charged.[86] There is no penalty for non-utilization or under-utilization of a licence.
3.45.
The authorities stated that there are no tariff quotas, although there is a quantitative restriction for the import of poppy seeds for health reasons.
3.46.
For imports of iodized salt and petroleum products (petrol, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel and LPG), only the Salt Trading Corporation Ltd. and the Nepal Oil Corporation Ltd., respectively, are authorized to import these products (Section 3.3.4.2).
3.47.
According to the authorities, Nepal has a "de-licensing" system, i.e. there is no need for a licence to import, except for restricted goods (non-automatic import licensing). The only condition to import is that business firms and companies are registered either with the Department of Commerce, Supply and Consumer Protection, or with the Office of the Company Registrar. As licences are not required, a registered importer must open an L/C (Section 3.2.1) from commercial banks for imports. This L/C and supporting papers must be presented at the Customs Office.
3.48.
Goods in transit through India to Nepal require a letter of undertaking from the Consulate General in Kolkata, to ensure that the transit of goods does not violate Articles 8 and 9 of the Transit Treaty.[87]
B. Prohibitions et restrictions à l'exportation
3.58.
In order to achieve various policy objectives, Nepal prohibits the export of certain goods (Table 3.12).
3.59.
According to the authorities, Nepal does not apply quantitative restrictions on exports.
