For the registration of vehicle Multan Dry Port Trust has to send their original documents to Karachi for new registration and drivers of the vehicles avoid from registration due to one week time duration from Customs department.
Due to complicated vehicle registration procedure, Multan Dry Port Trust is also facing lack of vehicles for the transportation of import and export shipment.
Multan Dry Port Trust has demanded from Customs department to ease vehicle registration process and it should be done at relevant collectorate of the Dry Port for facilitation of owners and port authority.
Registration process at the relevant collectorate will save time in vehicle registration after the completion of all required paper work and formalities because computerized facility is available in all Customs Station including Multan Customs.
