This law amends and extends the Control of Imports Acts, 1934 to 1963, primarily by giving the Government more flexibility in how it applies import quotas and exemptions. It allows for certain goods to be imported without a license under specific conditions related to quota orders.
Cad a rialaíonn sé
- The application of Section 7 of the Principal Act (Control of Imports Act, 1934) to quota orders.
- The conditions under which goods can be imported without a license, despite existing import controls.
- The ability to create new quota orders even when existing ones are in force for similar goods.
- The exemption of goods from import prohibitions based on their country of origin or consignment.
Cé dó a mbaineann sé
- The Government, specifically in its power to make and amend quota orders.
- Importers of goods subject to control of imports legislation.
- The Revenue Commissioners, who are responsible for satisfying certain conditions regarding imports.
Príomhphointí
- The Government can declare that Section 7 of the Principal Act will not apply to a specific quota order.
- Goods can be imported without a license if a quota order has been exempted from Section 7, a quota period order has been made, and the full quota quantity has not yet been imported.
- New quota orders can be made even if an existing quota order relates to some or all of the same goods.
- The Government can exempt goods from import prohibitions if they are manufactured or produced in, or consigned from, specified groups of countries.
