    Customs intelligence recovers Rs221.7 million from OGDCL for claiming wrong exemption

    KARACHI: Directorate of Customs Intelligence and Investigation, Karachi has recovered Rs221.7 million from Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) against avoiding payment of duty and taxes on import of seamless pipes.

    Officials at the directorate on Wednesday said that the oil and development company imported seamless pipes from China and got cleared through MCC Appraisement East, Karachi while availing exemption under SRO 678(I)/2004.

    “The GD was assessed and cleared by the collectorate under claimed exemption on customs duty at five percent and additional customs duty at four percent total amounting to Rs71.77 million against total assessed value of Rs797.53 million,” according to an official note sent to Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Headquarters.
