Abstract: The predictability, efficiency and openness of regulatory procedures are critical to enhance their effectiveness. In the absence of these features, procedures will fail to generate expected outcomes. Such opaque processes are also prone to abuse. This policy brief highlights and examines this problem by analysing the mechanisms that currently govern import tax exemption schemes for selected product categories.
