KARACHI: The Customs Laboratory is facing shortage of experienced and technical staff. This is the main reason in delaying the clearance of consignments of raw material.
Importer Faisal Anwar while talking to Customs Today said that the department recently suspended some senior and experienced examiners due to violation of service rules. Now they did not appointed fresh persons in their places and the remaining staff members lack of experience which is causing delay in clearance of raw material consignments.
He said that importers are also bearing extra charges due to this situation, as we have to pay demurrage charge of our consignments. He urged the concerned authorities to look into this situation and do the needful.
