    KARACHI: Pakistan Customs has surpassed the target by collecting Rs510.11 billion as duty during July – March 2018/2019, said a statement on Monday.

    Besides, Pakistan Customs also collected Federal Excise Duty (FED) to the tune of Rs9.9 billion during July – March 2018/2019 which was 21.2 percent higher when compared with Rs8.2 billion in the corresponding period of the last fiscal year.

  • Ministry probes Indian expired mango pulp entry

    Ministry probes Indian expired mango pulp entry

    ISLAMABAD: Ministry of National Food Security & Research (MNFSR) has taken notice of reports regarding the “import of expired Indian mango pulp”.

    The Ministry of National Food Security and Research made thorough investigation of the matter, a statement said on Thursday.

    In this backdrop the official stance of the Ministry of National Food Security & Research is as follows:

    “Mango pulp is a regulatory article under Plant Quarantine Act (PAQ) 1976 and Plant Quarantine Rule (PAR) 1967 which is enforced by Department of Plant Protection (DPP) M/o NFS &R.”

    For further assurance and strict compliance, SRO 1067(i)/2017 dated 20th October, 2017 was issued and amendments were made in the Import Permit Policy Order, 2016 to give clarity to the Custom of Pakistan and all stakeholders regarding import of all agro products in the country.

    Furthermore, for the import of mango pulp, there is a mandatory requirement of a valid import permit from DPP, valid Phyto-sanitary Certificate from exporting country and Plant Protection Release Order (PPRO) of DPP, before releasing the consignment by the Custom authorities.

    The Ministry of National Food Security through its attached departments has probed the matter after the news item was published and hence clarified that neither the DPP, has given any Import Permit nor has given any PPRO for entry in the country.

    However, it is assumed that without doing needful, the said consignment was released in clear violation of PQA 1976 and PQR 1967 and SRO 1067(i)/2017. It is further reiterated that there is no role of Ministry of National Food Security & Research regarding import of expired mango pulp in the country.

    However, the Ministry is taking up the matter with Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and provincial Food Authorities to further probe the matter and take appropriate action defined in relevant laws/regulations.

  • MCC Port Qasim directs timely consignment clearance

    MCC Port Qasim directs timely consignment clearance

    KARACHI: Model Customs Collectorate (MCC) Port Muhammad Bin Qasim has directed all deputy and assistant collectors to ensure timely clearance of consignments.

    In a official memo issued to all deputy and assistant collectors, the Collector Port Qasim directed that ensure strict compliance to the directives issued by MCC Appraisement West Karachi.

    MCC Appraisement on October 23, 2018 issued related to undue delay in clearance of consignments.

    It was pointed out at the meeting of MCC Appraisement West that the importers/clearing agents had to file first and second review in a number of those cases where valuation ruling exists but appraising officer assess the goods at a higher value. This arbitrary assessment is, however, mostly revised in accordance with the relevant valuation ruling by the concerned assistant / deputy collector during second review.

    It is further pointed out that the consignments cleared under green channel are stopped by the terminal operators at gate out stage to require documents mandatory for the clearance in terms of conditions of Import Policy Order. In certain cases, due to incorrect feeding of document code in the system, the terminal operator returned the same to the concerned assistant/deputy collector of the group to confirm as to whether or not a certain document is required.

    It has been informed that the concerned assistant/deputy collector refer this matter to principal appraiser who forward the same to appraising officer of the group for initiating requisite NOC. This process takes a considerable time.

    In order to avoid such undue delays on above accounts, the competent authority has directed that:

    a. Assistant/Deputy Collectors of all assessment group shall forward a weekly statement to the respective additional collector, with a copy to the collector, containing details of all such GDs where appraising officer had applied some random higher value despite presence of relevant valuation ruling and the assistant/deputy collector corrected and completed the assessment as per valuation ruling.

    b. All assistant / deputy collector assessment groups are directed to provide NOC in respect of green GDs mentioned at their own level after consulting Import Policy Order / other legal requirements, without referring the same to any lower level officials.
