ISLAMABAD, August 06 (Online): Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has decided to take action against over 100 big retailers in the country.
According to FBR, the process of import consignment clearance has been started at ship yards and custom stations.
The FBR while seeking report from Chief collectors about consignment clearance within a week has directed them to take steps for consignment clearance besides providing relief to the importers.
The statement issued by FBR said the clearance process had slowed down following the issuance of SRO regarding import consignment.
Additional charges were slapped on containers due to slow clearance process. However now the chief collectors have been directed to abolish additional charges and clear the consignment immediately.
