KARACHI: The mandatory laboratory tests prescribed by the customs collectorates for clearance of various consignments from different designated laboratories like Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR), Hussain Ebrahim Jamal Research Institute of Chemistry and KRC etc would soon be on WeBOC to ensure transparency in the system.
Moreover, the external/private labs would also be brought on WeBOC so that no importer could do forgery or misreporting in lab tests, insiders told Customs Today.
The sources said, that in many cases the importers had either changed the lab tests reports or temper for the sake of their goods clearance. There are certain labs including PCSIR, HEJ which are designated by the Customs for the lab tests.
In this regard, several meetings have been held with the management of the PCSIR, HEJ and other private labs and they all would be on WeBOC soon, sources added.
