• The Import License Program Agreement classifies import licenses into automatic and non-automatic licenses. In the automatic import licensing system, there is no limit to the number of import licenses that are issued to the importer, that is, for all the goods listed in the license, and the importer can import as long as the goods match the list included in the license. The purpose of the automatic import license is to collect statistics and oversight, providing the government with information about key goods that could harm the local industry. These licenses are not intended to restrict the import of products, but rather to provide statistics for the import trade.
• The non-automatic import license is basically an administrative method to limit the amount of imports. It is a common method for non-tariff barriers.
