Netting. Perhaps nowhere in cash management is there an opportunity to cut costs as readily as through the implementation of a netting system.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Foreign Trade
  • Customs and Excise
DEF

The program that enables eligible companies to import goods without having to pay customs duties, as long as they eventually export the goods. These companies can further manufacture the goods before exporting them or export them in their unaltered state without having to pay customs duties. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) regulates the amount of relief where the goods are exported to companies in NAFTA-participating countries.

CONT

Nearly all the identifying features of an inefficient suite of relief programmes relate to the transfer of control of the goods subject to the program. ICC [International Chamber of Commerce] believes that simplification is best achieved by limiting the number of times that control of the relief has to be transferred. In a well-designed suite of duty relief programmes, such transfers will be rare. As long as there are numerous relief programmes available to meet different needs, it is difficult, if not impossible, to avoid transfers between them.

A number of studies performed in the last ten or so years have found that commercial plants exchange genetic material with wild relatives in their vicinity with considerable regularity. But now one of the first studies of what actually happens to a transgene when it moves from a genetically modified cultivar into a wild population indicates that such transfers need not have a major environmental impact.

CONT

Release of a genetically modified cultivar in regions which that cultivar has many wild relatives could see hybridisation between the cultivar and wild relatives.
