KARACHI: The Pakistan Customs has decided to install trackers on the containers having Transshipment Permit (TP) for the dry ports, which aims at ensuring containers and goods do not get pilfered on the way to upcountry dry ports.
Chief Collector Enforcement-South, Zahid Khokhar told Customs Today, that the online system would be put in place in coming months. The whole tracking system would be closely monitored through a well-developed system Web Based One Customs (WeBOC) from Custom House.
“Pakistan Customs will keep vigilance of the movement of containers starting from the ports all along the route up to the dry ports. If, a container is off track, an alarm in the system would be ringing while the nearest customs authorities would be directed to go after the container and check it”, Khokhar added.
The tracking of containers would avoid mega scams and smuggling that happened in the past.
“We have constituted a committee while bids have been received for the installation of trackers on the containers”, he concluded.
