ANNEX 3
INFORMATION ON IMPORT LICENSING PROCEDURES
I OUTLINE OF THE SYSTEM
Pursuant to Article 12 of the Law on Foreign Trade (Official Gazette of RM no. 31/93, 41/93, 78/93,
15/97, 13/98, 13/99 and 50.99) the Government of th e Republic of Macedonia has adopted a Decision
on Classification of Goods for Exports and Imports (Official Gazette of RM no. 39/96). Article 3 of
this Decision defines the ministries that are responsible for issuing licences for different categories of
goods for exports and imports.
II PURPOSES AND COVERAGE OF LICENSING
1. Import licences are issued by the following ministries: the Ministry of Trade, Ministry of
Agriculture, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Internal Affairs and
Ministry of Defense.
Lists of goods subject to licensing issued by the above-mentioned ministries, except the
Ministry of Internal Affairs, are attached. A list of products subject to licensing by the
Ministry of Internal Affairs is not comprehensive because of its confidentiality.
2. The issuing of licences does not depend on the country of origin.
3. Licences are issued for the following reasons:
- Due to unpredicted circumstances and over a short period of time imports or exports of
certain goods increases significantly and may lead to distortions on the domestic market
or cause significant injury to domestic production and trade in goods;
- Protection of infant industries;
- Difficulties in the balance of payments;
- Protection of environment;
- Protection of human and animal health and protection of plants;
- Consistency with TRIPS;
- Control over circulation of poisons and narcotic drugs in conformity with international
conventions;
- Control over circulation of weapons and explosives;
- Under bilateral agreements
4. Licences are issued in conformity with the Decision on Classification of Goods for Exports
and Imports (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia no. 39/96, 64/96, 66/96, 67/96,
45/97, 54/97, 66/97, 20/98, 26/98, 17/99, 20/ 99, 21/99, 23/99, 24/99, 28/99, 33/99, 42/99,
49/99, 55/99).
The existing legislation does not allow designation of products subject to licensing to be
subject to administrative discretion.
The Government may abolish the licensing sy stem without approval of the Parliament.
III PROCEDURES
1. a) Procedures concerning allocation of tariff quotas under bilateral agreements and
formalities of filing applications for licensing are published in the “Official GazetteWT/ACC/807/5/Add.1
Page 14
of the Republic of Macedonia” in a decision on the allocation of tariff quotas per each
country with which the Republic of Macedonia has entered into a Free Trade
Agreement. This decision is adopted by the Government of the Republic of
Macedonia and is published in the Official Gazette together with the overall amount
for six months. During the period in which applications for licences are filed, some
daily newspapers are informed on the allocation of tariff quotas, so as to make theinformation available to all interested parties.
b) The volume of tariff quotas is determined on a yearly basis, while import licences are
issued on a six-monthly basis; in the latter case importers apply for a new licence.
c) Licences for certain goods are allocated fully to domestic producers. To ensure that
licences allocated are fully utilized, the agency in charge addresses the CustomsAdministration in writing and receives information on the u tilization of quotas.
Unused licences may not be used for a succeeding period. Names of importers to
whom licences have been allocated may be made known to governments and export
promotion bodies of exporting countries upon request.
From the time of announcement of the opening of quotas, the period of
time allowed for submission of applic ations for licences is two weeks.
The minimum period for processing applications is one week, that is five
working days, while the maximum period is ten working days.
f) The minimum period between the granting of licences and the date of opening of the
period of importation is not specifically determined, but the authorities in charge
normally grant the licences prior to the beginning of the importation period.
g) Applications for import licences are considered by a committee consisting of
representatives of five ministries, namely the Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Finance,
Ministry of Economy, Ministry of Foreig n Affairs and Ministry of Health, while
applications are filed with one ministry, i.e. the importer approaches only one
administrative body.
h) Quotas are allocated according to the criteria provided in decisions on allocating tariff
quotas and they apply to all countries with which the Republic of Macedonia has
signed Free Trade Agreements (as an example see Art. 4 of the Decision on
Allocating Tariff Quotas for the Second Half of 1999 pursuant to the Free Trade
Agreement between RM and Croatia, “Official Gazette of the Republic of
Macedonia” no. 29/99.) The principle “first come, first served”  is applicable underthe Free Trade Agreement with Bulgaria and the Free Trade Agreement with Turkey
(to be implemented upon ratification by Turkey). Tariff quotas under Free Trade
Agreements with the Republic of Slovenia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and
the Republic of Croatia are allocated based on the fulfilment of conditions regulated
with a Decision prepared periodically for each country that has entered into a FreeTrade Agreement with the Republic of Macedonia. The Republic of Macedonia has
recently started renegotiating the FTAs with Yugoslavia, Croatia and Slovenia to
include the “first come, first served” principle.
Applications are examined simultaneously.
i) Import licences are not required because an issued licence for quotas is an import
licence.WT/ACC/807/5/Add.1
Page 15
j) There are no cases where imports of goods for commercial use are subject to export
permit from the exporting country.
k) Import licences are not issued for products, which are to be exported upon
importation and not sold on the domestic market.
2.       a)    In principle, the application for an import licence should be made prior to the
importation.  Import licences are issued within a very short period of time. If the
request is complete, it can be obtained the same day.
b) An import licence may be issued immediately after the filing of the application, if
documents are completed.
c) There
are no limitations.
d)   Applications for import licences are reviewed by one administrative body and do not
need to be proceeded to other administrative bodies.
3 The request for import licences may not be refused except in cases when the existing criteria
are not fulfilled.
Candidates have a right to appeal within 15 days from the day of the receipt of the  refusal.
The appeal should be submitted to the Committee for Deciding Administrative Cases in the
Second Instance in areas of Commerce and Trade of the Government of the Republic of
Macedonia.
IV ELIGIBILITY OF IMPORTS TO APPLY FOR LICENCE
All entities, companies and institutions can apply for import licences if they are registered for
performing foreign trade operations. However, pursuant to Article 8 of the Law on Foreign Trade
(“Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia” no. 31/93) a one import/export transaction may beallowed to entities that are not registered to perform foreign trade operations in case of import/export
for their own purposes, i.e. to perform foreign trad e operations related to their business activity. These
entities are the following:
- State bodies
- Municipalities
- NGOs
- Socio-economic organizations
Registration fee is charged.Information on companies entitled to participate in the foreign trade can be obtained in the lower
courts competent for registration of companies.
VI DOCUMENTATION AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICATION FOR
IMPORT LICENCES

VII       CONDITIONS OF LICENSING
The import licence is valid six months and cannot be extended upon request of the client.
Penalty measures do not exist in case licences are not fully utilized or are partially utilized.
Licences may not be transferred among importers, if the licence is in the name of applicant. It is
possible that the applicant states in the request that s/he will be the user of the licence, but the
importer will be another entity.  In this case, both, the name of the user and importer should be statedon the import licence.
a) For products that are subjects to quantitative restrictions, there are no other conditions for
issuing an import licence.
b) For products that are not subjects to quantitative restrictions there are additional conditions,
such as providing copies of contracts, invoices, specifications.
OTHER PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
There are no other administrative procedures that need to be followed.
Not banks, but importers provide foreign currency needed for imports of foreign goods. The issuing of
import licences and provisions of foreign currency are not related. Companies acquire foreign
currency through foreign investors’ contributions in foreign currency, exports of goods and services
and by purchasing foreign currency on the foreign exchange market in conformity with the Decision
on the Manner and the Conditions Pertaining to Sale of Foreign Currency between Companies in the
Republic of Macedonia (Official Gazette of RM no. 30/93, 35/93, 38/93, 58 /93, 22/94, 40/94, 52/94,
67/94, 65/96, 17/98, 61/98).WT/ACC/807/5/Add.1

ANNEX 6
INFORMATION ON STATE TRADING
I Enumeration of State-Trading Enterprises
Directorate for Stock Reserves is the only enterprise in the Republic of Macedonia which is
covered by the provisions of Article XVII. Products for which the Directorate is maintained are
determined by the Government and vary according to  the situation on the domestic and international
market.
II Reason and Purpose for Introducing and Maintaining State-Trading Enterprises
The strategic reserves are governed by the Law on Stock Reserves adopted in 1987 (Official
Gazette 47/87) and amended in 1993 (Official Gazette 13/93). A drafting of a new Law on Stock
Reserves is underway and should be completed during year 2000. The Law on Stock Reserves is
submitted to the WTO Secretariat, Accession Division, Office no. 1124 for examination by the WPmembers.
Strategic reserves are created to provide a supply of primary food and other products
indispensable for the existence of the people of Macedonia. The products also include certain raw
materials essential to the domestic production or products of a special interest for the defense of thecountry. The stocks are used in times of significant disorder and instability of the market, natural and
other disasters and in a war situation.
III Description of the Functioning of State-Trading Enterprises
The interventions with strategic reserves in the market are carried out with the following
measures: buying and selling goods from the stock reserves, lending goods, importing goods and
purchase of certain agricultural products with the prescribed protective prices when the domestic
market prices fall on or below the level of protective prices.
If the Directorate for Stock Reserves has a surplus of products that should be sold or the
existing stock reserves should be replaced with new products, the Government of the Republic of
Macedonia makes a decision upon proposal of the Directorate and sets the initial minimum price. The
minimum price is determined to cover only expenses of the Directorate and not to accumulate profit.
Products are offered in the market through a public tender.
Products from the stock reserves are not exported, but sold on the domestic market. Foreign tenders in
1999 and 2000 on small-leafed tobacco were an exception as large quantities of tobacco were bought
out from producers. The Directorate also purchases wheat.
Private companies can import wheat and tobacco. The importation of wheat is subject to licence
issued by the Ministry of Trade, while the importation of tobacco is under liberal regime.
IV Statistical Information
1. In its operation the DSR does not discriminate against domestic or foreign legal entities. All
procurements and sales are carried out in conformity with the Law on Public Procurement,
through public announcements and auctions.
2. Interventions of the DSR are carried out to avoid major distortions in the stability of supplies
of essential products.WT/ACC/807/5/Add.1
Page 44
Thus, the Directorate for Stock Reserves buys out surpluses of agriculture and food products
subject to protective prices prescribed by the Government of the Republic of Macedonia. This
measure is taken to protect domestic producers when prices of their products fall bellow the
level of the protective prices. The Government of the Republic of Macedonia determines the
terms and the manner for implementation of this measure.
3. The DSR imports products when there is an actual or potential threat for distortion in the
market, and when the stock reserves are bellow the prescribed level of products which might
be necessary for intervening on the market and cannot be obtained on the domestic market.WT/ACC/807/5/Add.1
