  AGREEMENT ON IMPORT LICENSING PROCEDURES 
NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLES 1.4(A)i AND/OR 8.2(B)ii OF THE AGREEMENT 
TOGO 
The following notification, dated 17 August 2013 , is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of Togo.  
_______________ 
  Import authorization and licensing were introduced in Togo by Decree No. 69-223/PR 
of 17 November 1969. 
 The conditions for obtaining them were set out in Interministerial Order No. 7/MCT/MEF 
of 23 March 1983 laying down the conditions for the delivery of import entitlements. 
 In the context of the trade liberalization process, Interministerial Order No. 10/MCT/MEF 
of 29 May 1989 eliminated import licensing and authorization in general, except in respect 
of cement, reinforcing bars, wheat flour and corrugated iron sheets produced and marketed under the monopoly of certain State companies.  
The import and marketing of these products were liberalized by Circular Note No. 1023/MCPT/DCE 
of 17 August 1995.  
Import licences have therefore been eliminated in Togo and no licensing procedure exists. 
 
__________ 
                                               
i "[…] Publication shall take place, whenever practicable, 21 days prior to the effective date of the 
requirement but in all events not later than such effect ive date. Any exception, dero gations or changes in or 
from the rules concerning licensing procedures or the list of products subject to import licensing shall also be 
published in the same manner and wi thin the same time periods as specified above." See Article 1.4(a) of 
the Agreement. 
ii "Each Member shall inform the Committee of any changes in its laws and regulations relevant to 
this Agreement and in the administrati on of such laws and regulations."
