  1  COMMODITIES  SUBJECT TO CONDITIO NAL IMPORT, OPTICAL DISK MANUFACTURING 
EQUIPMENT  
Outline of system  
1. Import licensing system is regulated by Article 11 of the “Foreign Trade Act” (hereinafter the 
"FTA"), which provides that commodities can be imported freely into the territory.  However, where 
treaties, trade agreements, environmental/ecological protection, etc. or policy require restriction on 
imports, the Negative List shall apply.  The B ureau  of Foreign Trade (hereinafter the "BOFT") 
therefore compiles and publishes the “List of Commodities Subject to Import Restriction”.  The 
imposition of such restriction is  pursuant to the “Regulations Governing Import of Commodities” as 
mandated by the FTA. Commodities listed therein fall into two categories: one is subject to import 
control, i.e. no import is allowed (the BOFT can make an exception and give a special appro val for 
commodities in this category). Commodities in the second category are subject to conditional import, 
i.e. import is allowed if conditions (which might include the submission of an approval document 
from a relevant competent authority) set forth in the list are fulfilled. The issuance of an Import 
Permit by BOFT for the import of commodities in this category is granted upon fulfilment of the said 
conditions and is so that the Customs Administration may facilitate the clearance by checking only 
the pe rmits issued by BOFT.  
 
Such commodities as Methyl Bromide, HCFC are subject to conditional import in order to be in line 
with the Montreal Protocol , etc.; while import of “Optical Disks Manufacturing Equipment” is subject 
to measures taken for safeguarding intellectual property rights, and requires an import clearance 
certificate issued by the BOFT. The Customs Administration needs only to check the I mport Permit 
or import clearance certificate issued by the BOFT, thereby facilitating the customs clearance without 
the binding of other restrictive regulations.  
 
Purposes and coverage of licensing  
2. commodities, which require an Import Permit issued by t he BOFT, are referenced in the 
"Consolidated List of Commodities Subject to Import Restriction and Commodities Assisted by 
Customs for Import Examination" (G/LIC/N/1/TPKM/1 and G/LIC/N/1/TPKM/2) (hereinafter the 
"Consolidated List").  Copies of the Consoli dated List and legislation referred to in this notification 
are available for consultation in the Secretariat.  
 
The import certification system for “Optical Disk Manufacturing Equipment” covers the following 
items:C.C.C. Code 8477.10. 00.10-4, 8479.89.99.4 0-42, and 8480.71. 00.10-5. 
 
The import licensing/certification system regarding conditional import and “optical disk 
manufacturing equipment”, under the BOFT is automatic, though the BOFT Import Permit for 
commodities subject to conditional import required  often follows only upon the meeting of such 
conditions as the approval of other relevant agencies.  
 
3. The system applies to goods originating in and coming from all countries and customs territories, 
unless otherwise specified in the accession protocol o f the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, 
Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu or the agreement on the terms of accession to the WTO.  
 
4. The import permits issued by the BOFT are not designed to restrict the quantity or value of 
imports; rather they only serve the purpose of confirming to the Customs authorities that the 
prescribed import conditions have been met. With the assistance of the BOFT to verify the importers' 
qualifications and the compliance of the imports with the import regulations through the BOFT’s 
Import Permit issuance, the Customs Administration can accelerate the customs clearance.  The 
purpose for the issuance of an Import Clearance Certificate for optical disk manufacturing equipment 
is to prevent infringements of intellectual property rights.  There is no other import procedure for 
these commodities that can be substituted to in order to avoid the delay encountered from this 
customs clearance procedure.  
 
5. Although the BOFT licensing/certification system is governed by the “Regulations Governin g 
Import of Commodities” mandated by the FTA and the “Optical Disk Manufacturing Equipment
