Textual proposal  
 
• Members shall conduct documentary and physical  examination based on risk management for 
the purpose of concentrating on the examina tion of higher risk goo ds and facilitating the 
movement of lower risk goods. 
 
• In applying risk management techniques, Members shall examine imported goods based on 
appropriate selectivity criteria in order to pr ovide compliant traders with greater facilitation 
and expedited customs procedures. 
 
• The selectivity criteria may include specific commodity code, country of origin, country 
whence consigned, licensing indicator, value of go ods, compliance level of traders, type of 
means of transport and the traders’ purpo se of the stay in the Customs territory. 
 
• Members shall, where practicable, refer to re levant international standards and practices 
including the revised Kyoto Convention and th e WCO Risk Management  Guideline as basis 
for its risk management procedures. TN/TF/W/140 
Page 2  
 
   
• Risk management procedures shall not be used as or have the effect of creating disguised 
discrimination and obstacles to trade. 
 
• Risk management procedures shall be applied, to  the extent possible, to the relevant trade 
facilitation measures including pre – arrival processi ng, post – clearance audit, and authorized 
traders. 
  (Definition) 
 
• Risk  means the potential for non-compliance with  customs and/or other relevant laws. 
 
• Risk Management  means the systematic application of management procedures and 
practices providing customs and other relevant border agencies with the necessary information to address movements or consignments which present a risk.

(Unmanufactured Bright Virginia Flue-Cured Tobacco ) 
  
 The following communication, dated 22 Febr uary 2006, has been received from the 
Permanent Mission of Canada. 
 
_______________
 
 
  On February 16, 2006, the Canadian Intern ational Trade Tribunal (CITT) terminated its 
global safeguard inquiry into the importation of unm anufactured bright Virginia flue-cured tobacco, 
whether stemmed or stripped, or partly or wholly  stemmed/stripped, for use in the manufacture of 
cigarettes, tobacco sticks and other tobacco products. The termination of this inquiry is in light of a 
notification received from the complainants, the Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers Marketing 
Board, indicating that its members no longer wished to  participate in the inquiry and would not submit 
evidence to support their complaint.   The initiation of the investigation that led to  this termination was notified to the Committee 
on Safeguards in G/SG/N/6/CAN/3 (January 9, 2006).  
 The CITT notice of termination of inquiry is a public document that is available on the CITT 
website at: http://www.citt-tcce.gc.ca/ safeguar/global/notices/gs2f01b_e.asp

Questions and Replies
 
 
  The following communication, dated 19 August 2009,  is being circulated at the request of the 
delegations of the Kyrgyz Republic and Ukraine.  
 This document reproduces the questions addressed to the Parties and the responses submitted. 
 
_______________ 
 
Question from the Delegation of Australia
 
 
1. Ukraine introduced tariff-rate quota measur es for the first time in 1999, for raw cane 
sugar (HS 1701.11).  The in-quota duty rate was set at 2% in 2009, the out-of-tariff quota at 50%.  What is the volume of imports that will qualify for the in-quota duty? 
 In 2009 the volume of TRQ is 263900,0 tons.  Please see Ukrainian notification 
G/AG/N/UKR/1 of 26.02.09 for further details. 
 
Questions from the Delegation of Brazil
 
 2. Are the preferences granted for goods prod uced with materials imported with 
suspension or elimination of duties and taxes? 
 As far as we understood the question, we would like to note the following: 
 
 In case of operations with give-and-take materials the payment of duties and taxes is suspended contingent on the exportation of fina l goods (if they are exported, nothing would be 
charged).  If those materials are already exempted  from duties on their importation, than the payment 
of taxes is suspended contingent on the exportation of final goods.  As regards restoring stocks of 
inputs to goods to be exported, Ukrainian law on operations with give-and- take materials does not 
provide for such restoring.  
3. Are there any plans to implement digital certificates of origin, with digital signature? 
 Current Rules of Establishing the Country of Origin  for Goods, approved by the Resolution of 
the Council of the Heads of the Governments of the Community of Independent State, as of 
September 24, 1993, revised and amended  in November 30, 2000 does not provide for issuing of 
electronic certificates.
