  • Direct submission of documents at WeBOC allowed

    Direct submission of documents at WeBOC allowed

    KARACHI: Pakistan Customs has taken major steps for trade facilitation and allowed submission of documents at WeBOC without prior approval of Assistant Collector (AC)/ Deputy Collector (DC).

    Saif Ullah Khan, President, Karachi Customs Agents Association (KCAA) welcomed the step taken by the Pakistan Customs and said it would reduce dwell time for consignment clearance.

    He appreciated efforts of the Chief Collector South (Appraisement) Wajid Ali who had initiated the pre-arrival clearance process and simultaneously promoted the re-engineering of various steps of the clearance process that has improved the working environment.

    One such improvisation is the direct dissemination of the document calling message without the approval of AC/DC group. Usually the traders had to wait for the approval of document calling message by the concerned AC/DC before they can attach the documents in the Weboc system.

    This outstanding stride by the Chief Collector South in collaboration with Directorate of Reforms and Automation will enable the traders to receive the document calling message for any particular goods declaration without the need for AC/DC to approve it hence subsequently expediting the clearance of cargo, he added.

    Regarding Refund Management System, the following changes also made by the Customs Authorities under Weboc system.

    KCAA General Secretary Arshad Khurshid also appreciates the interest shown by the Chief Collector South (Appraisement) that has really benefited to overcome the challenges faced by business community.

    ISLAMABAD: A protocol was signed on Tuesday between Pakistani and Chinese authorities for inspection and quarantine requirements for onion export from Pakistan to China.

    The protocol was signed between the General Administration of Customs China (GACC) of the People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of National Food Security and Research (MNFSR) of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

    The agreement was signed by Syed Fakhar Imam, Federal Minister for National Food Security and Research and Nong Rong, the Ambassador of Peoples Republic of China in Pakistan at Ministry of National Food Security and Research (MNFSR), Islamabad.

    It was reaffirmed that such initiatives would further strengthen friendship ties between both countries.

    It was further stated that the present government under Prime Minister Imran Khan has been giving high priority to the growth of the agriculture sector on a sustainable basis and is implementing the most appropriate policies to achieve the desired outcomes.

    Nong Rong, the Chinese Ambassador anticipated that the protocol would open new ways for more Pakistani products to reach Chinese markets.

    He further said that China and Pakistan are complementary to each other. China is already supporting Pakistan in Foot and Mouth disease control, chili, potato, beef and mutton production.

    The CPEC would further result in such trade ties. Work on development quarantine and Phytosanitary procedures for export of Pakistani onions to China was initiated by the Department of Plant Protection (DPP), Ministry of National Food Security & Research (MNFSR) was initiated during January 2019.

    The National Plant Protection Organizations of both the countries conducted Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) and the technical negotiations resulted in the form of Protocol during April 2021.

    The processing companies that intend to export onions from Pakistan to China shall be registered and recommended by DPP after approval through an audit for further registration with GACC. At the end, Syed Fakhar Imam expressed his deepest thanks to His Excellency, Nong Rong, Ambassador of the Peoples Republic of China for attending this signing ceremony and paid special thanks to the General Administration of Customs China (GACC)/ NPPO – China and the Chinese Government for cooperation and facilitation of bilateral trade of agricultural goods between Pakistan and China.

    Gilles Thomas from WCO gave a detailed introduction about the COPES program highlighting the gaps that exist in the Customs Officers’ professional standards and how the CECAC project would be an effort to bridge that gap by developing an enforcement curriculum.
