FAISALABAD: The Customs Adjudication Additional Collector Beelam-ur-Ramzan has issued a show cause notice to owner of a non-duty paid used Toyota Land Cruiser involving duty and taxes Rs 1,297,786.
Sources told Customs Today that the Jhang city Customs Anti-Smuggling Organization (ASO) intercepted a Toyota Land Cruiser bearing registration no LWC-4034 and asked his owner who was identified as Muhammad Irfan to show documents regarding legal import of the vehicle.

Now, Additional Collector Beelam issued notice to the accused person on the violation of Section 10-A. 89(1) and 156(1) of the Customs Act, 1969. However, the adjudication has directed the accused to file his reply on next date of hearing.
