Imports are the main source of goods from outside the country and the reason why some goods require import licenses is to control the importation of goods. Such controls are done in the interest of the public and are meant to protect the consumer against things like dangerous and harmful drugs and substances and to protect the environment as well as to protect local businesses from foreign competition.
