ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has rejected the Model Customs Collectorate Islamabad’s suggestion to keep the Islamabad Dry Port open for seven days a week.
The Cargo Agents Association had urged the MCC Islamabad to cancel the weekly holiday. The association had said that the importers would get one extra day to clear their goods and would have to pay less demurrage.
After this the MCC had written to the FBR, but the board rejected the request after learning that business volume at the port was not enormous.
