ISLAMABAD: The Directorate General, Customs Intelligence and Investigation, FBR Rawalpindi, has once again caught M/s Smart Zone Private Limited Peshawar Goods and seized the company’s foreign origin miscellaneous electronic items worth millions of rupees on the charges of smuggling.
The M/s Smart Zone produced the Goods Declaration LAPR-HC-13,149 dated 7th of March 2017 before the Rawalpindi Directorate General Customs I&I but, after the verification of the GDs, anti-smuggling staff rejected it.
According to sources, the produced documents were examined with the confiscated goods and found irrelevant while sales tax invoices were not available, so the foreign origin goods were converted into seizure under the section 168 of Customs Act-1969.
Notices under Section 171 ibid have been also issued to the M/s Smart Zone Company through representatives of the foreign origin goods. According to details of seized items, Samsung LEDs, Color SUHD TVs 65” 9 series quantum dot display (Made in Egypt), Sony Bravia 48” 120.9 cm W 65D and Sony Bravia Color LED TV 32” (Made in Malaysia) are included in the non-duty-paid smuggled goods.
It is pertinent to mention here that already a case of non-duty-paid goods against M/s smart Zone Private Limited Peshawar under the smuggling charge is pending before the high court.
