Sources told our reporter that Collector Customs Adjudication-I M Javed served a show-cause notice on the said company for allegedly causing the treasury a loss of Rs5.88million by way of mis-declaration of classification.
M/s Yasir Garments and Export Karachi imported a consignment of cotton folding machines and powder chemicals and got them cleared by mis-declaring the classification under the Pakistan Custom Tariff (PCT) from the Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT) through Examiner Nasir Sharif Wattoo.
