第十三章 WTO进口许可程序规则WTO Rules of Import Licensing Procedures 一、概述 WTO《进口许可程序协定》(Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures)[1]确立了WTO进口许可程序规则。这些规则加强了对进口许可程序使用者的约束，增强了进口许可程序的透明度和可预测性。但这些规则适用的广泛性也将越来越小。 [1] There are only eight articles in this Agreement. 二、“进口许可”的含义 Import licensing is defined as administrative procedures used for the operation of import licensing regimes requiring the submission of an application or other documentation (other than that required for customs purposes) to the relevant administrative body as a prior condition for importation into the customs territory of the importing Member. “进口许可”被定义为进口许可制度的运作所使用的行政程序。这种进口许可制度的运作以要求向有关的行政管理机构提交申请表或其他文件(这些文件不是为海关管理所要求的)作为可将产品进口至进口成员关境内的先决条件。 三、进口许可程序透明度的基本要求 WTO《进口许可程序协定》第1.4(a)条规定： The rules and all information concerning procedures for the submission of applications, including the eligibility of persons, firms and institutions to make such applications, the administrative body(ies) to be approached, and the lists of products subject to the licensing requirement shall be published in such a manner as to enable governments and traders to become acquainted with them.
