N T I S2010 Review, simplify, and improve current procedures for collection, royalties, restrictions, EIA, IEE,processing, customs tariffs on inputs, and exporting of herbs and herb products. For example,if a laboratory is set up in Nepalgunj, the Department of Forestry should permit export on thebasis of laboratory test and certification in Nepalgunj itself without visiting Kathmandu. Implement a policy and institutional system for issuing an internationally recognized organiccertificate developed by the MoAC. Introduce a policy to intensify the use of raw herbs in production of essential oils and herbalproducts. Introduce collective patent rights to cover species of Nepali origin like Timur and others. Remove all district development taxes imposed on movement of herbs within Nepal. Strengthen bilateral negotiations with India and request the Government of India to (a)incorporate selected herbs in the list of importable items of Department of Plant Quarantineand (b) issue open transit movement permit to Nepalese herbs from one state to another.278NEPAL TRADE INTEGRATION STRATEGY 2010BACKGROUND REPORT
