commodity is delivered for export. In case of dispute in regard to the market-

IMPORT-PERMIT TYPES OF EXPORT PREMIUMS
[Excerpts from Josef Grunzel : Economic Proteetionism, pp. 204-207. 216-2201
In modern commercial policy there are two methods of relieving goods of
import duties on reexportation. The first is that of the * drawback,” in which
the duty is regularly paid on importation and refunded on reexportation. The
other is that of manufacture in bond, where the duty is conditionally credited
on importation, and later written off on reexportation of the goods. Either
proof of identity of the imported and exported article may be required, or
a rate of equivalence established on the basis of an assumed utilization factor.
If the proof of identity is waived in this manner, customs drawbacks and
manufacture in bond may experience an extraordinary development through the
use of so-called importation permits or certificates. These reverse the tech-
nical order of procedure. The exportation of the goods is taken as the starting
point, the exporter receiving permission to import at will, and duty free, the
same quantity of the same commodity or a corresponding quantity of the raw
material or part manufactures worked up in the exported product. If these
certificates are made freelv negotiable. thev mav become the basis of an
