Questions from the United States to Sri Lanka regarding G/VAL/W/304  
 
The following submission, dated 9 November  2018, is being circulated at the request of the 
delegation of the United States.  
 
_______________  
 
 
Below please find additional questions from the United States to Sri Lanka to follow up on Sri Lanka's 
responses in G/VAL/W/304.  
In document G/VAL/W/291, t he United States requested confirmation that Sri Lanka no longer uses 
minimum values for any merchandise, including motor vehicles. In its response contained in 
G/VAL/W/304, Sri Lanka states that it "does not use minimum value criteria for determination on  
importation of motor vehicles or any other goods" and cites Gazette Notification No. 1971/10 dated 
14 June 2016.  Sri Lanka also states that the customs value of all imported goods is now determined 
in compliance with the Customs Valuation Agreement.  
Gazette Notification No. 1971/10 dated 14 June 2016, provides a methodology for the valuation of 
motor vehicles classified in HS headings 87.02, 87.03, 87.04, 87.05, and 87.11.  
In subsection (1)(A), Gazette Notification No. 1971/10 provides that that the custo ms value of a 
"brand new motor vehicle shall be the transacted value which should be proved with invoice issued 
by the manufacturer or certified by the manufacturer of such vehicle."  
Subsection (1)(B) provides for the valuation of motor vehicles "not comin g under the category (A) 
above. Please explain the meaning of "not coming in under the category (A) above."   
Which used or new motor vehicles are described in this phrase?   
Does this phrase include, for example, new motor vehicles that are imported into Sri Lanka but have 
not been subject to a sale, such as where these is no Sri Lankan buyer?  
Subsection (1)(B) further provides that the valuation for such vehicles "shall be the value, that 
should not be below 85% of the transacted value ( excluding applicab le of local taxes ) of similar or 
identical brand -new vehicle at the country of export of such vehicle."   
This provision appears to create a minimum value for vehicles (i.e., 85% of the transaction value of 
a similar or identical brand -new vehicle at the c ountry of export of such vehicle). If Sri Lanka 
considers it does not create a minimum value, please explain why not.  
Please explain which article of the Customs Valuation Agreement, if any, this provision implements.   G/VAL/W/313  
 
- 2 - 
 
  Please explain, in addition, how thi s provision is consistent with Study 1.1 and Supplement to 
Study  1.1 of the Technical Committee on Customs Valuation.

  INDE – CERTAINES MESURES RELATIVES AUX CELLULES SOLAIRES 
ET AUX MODULES SOLAIRES 
DEMANDE DE PARTICIPAT ION AUX CONSULTATIONS 
Communication présentée par le Japon 
 La communication ci-après, datée du 13 février 2013 et adressée par la délégation du Japon 
à la délégation de l'Inde, à la délégation des États-Unis et au Président de l'Organe de règlement 
des différends, est distribuée conformément à l'article 4:11 du Mémorandum d'accord sur le 
règlement des différends.  
_______________ 
 
  Je souhaite me référer à la demande de consultations présentée par les États-Unis 
conformément à l'article XXII de l'Accord général sur les tarifs douaniers et le commerce de 1994 
dans la communication distribuée aux Membres de l'OMC le 11 février 2013 (WT/DS456/1, G/L/1023, G/TRIMS/D/35, G/SCM/D96/1) et intitulée " Inde – Certaines mesures relatives aux 
cellules solaires et aux modules solaires ". Les autorités de mon pays m'ont donné pour instruction 
d'informer les Membres qui prennent part aux consultations et l'Organe de règlement des différends du désir du Japon d'être admis à participer à ces consultations, conformément au paragraphe 11 de l'article 4 du Mémorandum d'accord sur les règles et procédures régissant le 
règlement des différends . 
  Le Japon a un intérêt commercial substantiel
1 dans ces consultations en tant que gros 
fournisseur au niveau mondial d'installations de production d'énergie renouvelable. Par ailleurs, il 
apparaît que ces consultations portent sur certaines mesures concernant les prescriptions relatives à la teneur en éléments d'origine nationale des produits en question. Le Japon a contesté une 
mesure de nature similaire dans le différend " Canada – Certaines mesures affectant le secteur de 
la production d'énergie renouvelable (DS412) ".
