Q3. The system applies to goods originating in and coming from which countries?
No existe distinción entre países, se aplica a todos los equipos que se importan.
Q4. Is the licensing intended to restrict the quantity or value of imports, and if not, what are its purposes? Have alternative methods of accomplishing the purposes been considered and if so which? Why have they not been adopted?
El Reglamento no limita cantidades por países de origen o de procedencia. Su finalidad es que tengan los requisitos de seguridad necesarios para la transportación de pasajeros y cargas.
Q5. Cite the law, regulation and/or administrative order under which the licensing is maintained. Is the licensing statutorily required?
