KARACHI: The Model Customs Collectorate-East Research and Development section is likely to investigate into the illegal clearance of prohibited raw material used for antibiotics by mis-declaration.
The sources told Customs Today that an importer Mohammad Ali Chandna has allegedly got cleared consignments of prohibited raw material to be used for making antibiotic medicines. The clearance of the consignments is illegal that has also brought revenue loss to the national kitty, sources added.
In this regard, the then MCC East Collector Manzoor Hussain Memon has assigned the investigation to Principle Appraiser Shafiullah and Appraising Officer Azhar Abbas to probe the matter and submit the report at the earliest, sources said.
The importer has taken undue benefits of the SRO by mis-declaration and a case might be registered if importer’s involvement is found, sources concluded.
