summarize up 150 t0 200 words
Toys
Dolls Us is a toy manufacturer from Goldtown, Richland, with production facilities in Richland, Newland and Farawayland. Dolls Us produces a wide range of toys but is best known for a doll named Carlie. In view of Carlie'ssuccess in the United States, Dolls Us wants to explore the possibility of marketing Carlie in the United Kingdom. Carlie is a Barbie-like doll with a plastic body, artificial hair and three sets of clothes. The plastic body parts are produced in Newland. The hair and the clothes are produced in Farawayland. Carlie is only assembled and packaged in Richland. It is expected to sell at £10 per doll in the United Kingdom.

The UK’s Customs Service has informed Dolls Us that the customs duty on Carlie will amount to 15 per cent ad valorem and that the value will be determined on the basis of the sales price on the domestic market in Richland. Dolls Us challenges both the level of the duty and the manner in which the Customs Service intends to determine the value of the dolls for customs purposes. It also disagrees with the Customs Service that the country of origin of Carlie is Richland and notNewland. Furthermore, Dolls Us considers that Carlie is not really a toy but rather a collector's item. Finally, it wonders whether, for the customs classification of Carlie, it makes a difference whether Carlie is imported as a finished product or in parts still to be assembled.

The UK Customs Service also informs Dolls Us that all imported dolls are subject to an import surcharge of £0.30 per doll as well as a special customs- handling fee of 0.2 per cent ad valorem. This fee goes to the Customs Service's Fund for Disfavoured Children.

To boost its sales of Carlie in the United Kingdom, Dolls Us plans to send buyers of this doll, upon their request, short movies on the wondrous adventures of Carlie. These movies are sent from Richland by e-mail. Dolls Us is concerned aboutthe rumour that the European Commission is considering the introduction of a customs duty on movies imported into the European Union via the Internet.

The Government of Newland, eager to promote the development of its toy industry, has announced that they will introduce an export duty of 10 per cent ad valorem on plastic body parts of dolls. Dolls Us is ‘disappointed’ by the information received from the UK’s Customs Service, and concerned about the rumours on the ‘movies duty’ as well asabout Newland's planned introduction of an export duty. It has asked its law firm, Gandhi, Bhatia & Ganesan, an Indian law firm with offices in London, for legal advice on the WTO-consistency of the various measures referred to above. You are a junior lawyer working at Gandhi, Bhatia & Ganesan and you have been tasked with preparing a note on the legal advice sought by Dolls Us. The senior partner of the law firm has warned you not to forget to check the EU’s Goods Schedule as well as the EU’s Common Customs Tariff.

Question 2
The 18th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in January 2012, adopted a decision to establish a Continental Free Trade Area by an indicative date of 2017. The Agreement Establishing the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) entered into force on 30 May 2019 for the 24 countries that had deposited their instruments of ratification.
The AfCFTA will bring together all 55-member states of the African Union covering a market of more than 1.2 billion people, including a growing middle class, and a combined gross domestic product (GDP) of more than US$3.4 trillion. In terms of numbers of participating countries, the AfCFTA will be the world’s largest free trade area since the formation of the World Trade Organization. The main objectives of the AfCFTA are to create a single continental market for goods and services, with free movement of business persons and investments, and thus pave the way for accelerating the establishment of the Customs Union.
From the above, discuss three (3) advantages that Ghana as a member of AfCFTA may get by signing the agreement and two (2) disadvantages that Ghana may suffer from AfCFTA.
