  • Ministry extends implementation of SRO 604 related to solar panel import

    Ministry extends implementation of SRO 604 related to solar panel import

    ISLAMABAD: The ministry of commerce has extended the implementation of SRO 604 up to August 31, 2019. The ministry issued the SRO on May 28, 2019 which is related to import of solar panel and related equipments.

    The ministry of commerce issued SRO 947(I)/2019 to extend the date of implementation of the SRO 604(I)/2019 from June 01, 2019 to August 31, 2019.

    Therefore the provisions of the SRO 604 would take effect from September 01, 2019.

    Sources in Pakistan Customs said that the extension of date for implementation of the SRO would help the import to clear their stuck up consignments on the previous terms and conditions.

    Due to changes in the Import Policy Order, 2016 through SRO 604 resulted large amount of stuck up containers at the ports.

    Considering the large number of stuck up containers of solar panels, Model Customs Collectorate (MCC), Appraisement South, allowed shifting of solar panel and related equipments consignments to CPF customs bonded warehouses or pubic bonded warehouses till the requirement of SRO 604 is not fulfilled by the importers.

    The consignments of solar panels, inverters and other equipment used in solar technology were previously imported on the standards and conditions specified by the government as per last import policy order.

    The stakeholders said that the ministry had issued the SRO without consultation with the industry participants and it resulted in this problem.

    The ministry previously issued clarification and mentioned July 4 2019 as the date of implementation of new requirement but still large number of containers were stuck at ports as they were arrived under previous order and were not cleared prior to the said.

  • Pakistan, USAID partner to streamline customs, trade procedures

    Pakistan, USAID partner to streamline customs, trade procedures

    ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and US Agency for International Development (USAID) through its Pakistan Regional Economic Integration Activity (PREIA), jointly organized a one-day Stakeholders’ workshop on Pakistan Single Window (PSW) for managing Pakistan’s external trade at a local hotel in Islamabad.

    The objective of the workshop was to encourage stakeholders’ participation and collaboration in making trade related processes more efficient, effective and transparent in line with globally accepted best practices under the World Trade Organization’s Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA).

    Single window is a key trade facilitation tool that helps countries improve efficiencies in the area of custom clearance, increase the speed at which goods can move, and reduce the overall cost of trade.

    The Pakistan Single Window is therefore one of the most important reforms needed to improve Pakistan’s trade competitiveness, and ultimately stimulate economic growth and prosperity.

    The conference brought together more than 70 participants from the public and private sector including government officials from key trade regulators, members of various chambers of commerce, trade bodies and business associations, and representatives of the international donor community collaborating with FBR on various aspects of the PSW.

    While speaking at the event, the Member Customs Jawwad Owais Agha said: “Pakistan Single Window is the most significant cross border trade facilitation initiative to have been undertaken by the Government of Pakistan.”

    He added, “In order to successfully implement this program, Pakistan Customs has not only deployed capable resources but has also allocated part of the GD fee fund to fast track the in-house development and early deployment of the PSW.

    “We hope that with continued support from participating government departments and development partners, Pakistan Customs will be able to implement this program in time.”

    The Pakistan Single Window will provide an electronic platform for the provision of services to traders. It is hoped that introduction of PSW will bring together all the stakeholders on one single platform that will further improve the process of cross-border trade, enabling businesses to expand their operations and effectively reduce the clearance time.

    While delivering remarks at the conference, USAID’s Acting Director for Office of Economic Growth and Agriculture Malick Haidara said, “Today’s workshop is a continuation of our collaborative efforts with Pakistan Customs and FBR to enhance the understanding and capacity of the stakeholders to manage the complex reforms resulting from PSW implementation.”

    Pakistan Regional Economic Integration Activity (PREIA), US AID is providing active technical assistance to the PSW initiative since its inception in order to ensure the development and early deployment of the PSW system.

    Implementation of the PSW is one of the many activities that USAID supports in Pakistan to contribute towards economic growth of the country and is indicative of the United States Government’s commitment to support Pakistan’s economy by fostering a business friendly environment and expanding trade opportunities. In the end, FBR thanked all development partners especially (PREIA), US AID for their active support to PSW.

    MCC Appraisement West to work on Sunday to clear pending consignments before Eid holidays

    KARACHI: Model Customs Collectorate (MCC) Appraisement – West will observe Sunday, August 11, 2019 as normal working day in order to facilitate trade in clearance of their pending consignments ahead of Eid-ul-Azha.

    Model Customs Collectorate (MCC) Appraisement, West on Saturday issued letter to Karachi International Container Terminal (KICT) to observe Sunday as normal working days for examination at the terminal. The collectorate decided to observe the weekly holiday as normal working day on the issue raised by Karachi Customs Agents Association (KCAA) about huge number of pending containers at the KICT.

    The colletorate pointed out that despite reminders to KICT management there are 200 containers, which are remained not cleared till August 10, 2019 as Eid ul Azha is falling on August 12, 2019 following by four public holidays.

    Slackness in disposal of work on part of terminal is not only effecting cash liquidity position of the traders but increase their clearance time along with causing mental agony to them, it said.

    The collectorate directed the terminal operator to expedite grounding of all pending containers but also match the infrastructure and human resource with the requirement of work at the port.

    Mostly, grounding at port is affected when delivery is being made at night by terminal or containers are being discharged from berthed vessels. This situation is undesirable and the terminal should make maximum arrangements to liquidate the pendency, the collectorate said.

    As interim arrangement customs on its own is going to observe normal working day on Sunday and it directed the terminal to make maximum grounding in order to mitigate the worries of trade and dispose of examination work at the port.
