Peshawar – January 11 (ONLINE): Vice President Pak-Afghan Joint Chambers of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI) Ziaul Haq Sarhadi while commenting on the Finance (Supplementary) Bill said that amendment in section 25-A of the Customs Act as an unfair decision, calling for withdrawing of the decision to facilitate across border mutual trade.
Ziaul Haq Sarhadi in a statement issued here on Tuesday said the decision has restored powers of Director General Karachi to valuation/determining prices of fresh fruits and dry-fruits, imported via Torkham border from Afghanistan.
He urged the government to review its decision in the best interest of Pak-Afghan mutual trade and transit trade and business community on both sides of the border.
PAJCCI VP said the valuation of dry and fresh fruits from EU and U.S are higher because of their high standards and quality while fresh and dry fruits from Afghanistan are natural and low grade products bearing low value, the meeting said.
