National import licensing procedures can adversely affect the flow of imports, particularly if these procedures are not transparent or if they unnecessarily delay the issue of licences. The Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures divides licences into two categories: automatic and non-automatic. Automatic licences should be issued within a maximum period of 10 working days after the receipt of applications. Non-automatic licences, which are generally used to administer quantitative restrictions, must be granted within a maximum period of 30 days from receipt of application where licences are issued on a first-come first-served basis and 60 days if all applications are considered simultaneously.
