Regarding appropriate customs representation in the FTA negotiating team.
Regarding appropriate customs representation in the FTA negotiating team.
I am directed to state that the Director General of Revenue Intelligence has been frequently receiving representations from the trade Associations/Government departments alleging misuse of Indo-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement (ISFTA) stating that the country of origin or value addition norms are manipulated.
In this regard, it is informed that such matters involving policy issues/dispute settlement is handled by Ministry of Commerce through the Department of Revenue and may accordingly be referred to this Ministry.
However, instances of gross under-valuations, violation of terms and agreement, under-invoicing, un-declaration of country of origin etc. may be referred either to the Commissionerate special investigation branch or to the DGRI for appropriate necessary actions please.
