Kamran Akhtar, another importer, told that the consignee have to face thousands of rupees loss because of detention of container, even traders fully cooperate with officials of Pakistan Customs.
He said that most of stuck-up consignments having items related with upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr and delay in clearance will be devastating for traders.
Pakistan Customs authorities assured traders that they will leave no stone un turned to solve the problems faced by importers. “officers found in causing deliberate delay in examination would be punished” they maintained.
