Free Trade Agreement (FTA) TRQ

簡介

－INTRODUCTION－

我國原有四十三種農產品採取管制進口或限地區進口的非關稅措施，與WTO農業協定自由化相關規範不符，各國皆要求我國應於入會後消除進口限制。

Before Chinese Taipei’s accession to WTO, items of agricultural products were restricted from importation or permitted to import from specific area. These non-tariff measures employed by Chinese Taipei were not in conformity with WTO’s agreements concerning the liberalization of agriculture. Therefore, Chinese Taipei was requested by WTO members to lift the ban on importation of agriculture products upon accession to WTO.

依據我國與WTO會員協議，其中24項（目前僅剩16項）農產品改為採取關稅配額方式辦理進口，由財政部委任本行辦理核配業務；另由行政院農業委員會委託本行辦理政府米標購業務。

Pursuant to the agreements between Chinese Taipei and WTO members, Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) will be offered in connection with the import of items of agricultural and fishery products(Currently, there are 16 items of agricultural TRQ).  Bank of  Taiwan (BOT) is entrusted by Ministry of Finance (MOF) to administer the allocation of TRQ. Besides, BOT is also entrusted by Council of Agriculture (COA) to purchase the rice quota for central authorities by opening tender.

壹、上述二十四項農產品依事先核配方式辦理分配，分配方式分為下列二種：

The allocations of tariff quota for items of agricultural and fishery products mentioned in the preceding paragraph were granted by the following two methods: 一、先申請先分配(System 1)：

TRQ allocated on a first-come, first-served basis (System 1):

1.產品：A.雞肉 B.豬腹脅肉 C.豬雜碎 D.禽雜碎 E.鹿茸 F.東方梨 G.香蕉;自94年1月1日起，關稅配額刪除A,B,C,D四項產品

2.入會前二年之關稅配額分配，依先申請先分配方式辦理。二年後配額之分配，每一申請者將至少獲得其前二年實際進口量平均數之配額。

The allocations for the first two years would be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. After the first two years, and in each year in which allocations were made under this system, applicants for an allocation of the quota would receive an allocation at least as large as the average of the amount actually imported by the applicant in the prior two years.
