KARACHI: Pakistan Customs has officially notified the export values for mangoes for the current season, setting a fresh benchmark for exporters and international buyers as the country’s premium fruit continues to gain popularity across global markets.
In a notification issued Tuesday, the Directorate of Valuation, Pakistan Customs, released Valuation Ruling No. 2/2025 specifically for determining the customs export value of mangoes—including fresh mangoes, mango pulp, and dry mangoes.
According to the ruling:
• Fresh mangoes (all varieties) are valued at $800 per metric ton
• Mango pulp is set at $1000 per metric ton
• Dry mangoes (all types) are priced at $1500 per metric ton
The Directorate issued this valuation following detailed consultations and directives from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and the Ministry of Commerce. The aim is to streamline valuation mechanisms and ensure accurate, transparent assessments of mangoes being exported from Pakistan.
To ensure fairness and industry consensus, a stakeholder meeting was held on June 30, 2025. Participants included representatives from the All Pakistan Fruit and Vegetable Exporters, Importers and Merchants Association, as well as top mango exporters from across the country.
During the meeting, participants discussed current market trends, international demand, and pricing structures. The directorate reviewed proposals, analyzed documentary evidence, and studied export data from PRAL to arrive at a standardized valuation for customs purposes.
“This valuation ruling will now serve as the baseline customs value for all mango exports, unless revised or rescinded by a competent authority under Section 25A(4) of the Customs Act, 1969,” the Directorate stated.
The export of mangoes remains one of Pakistan’s most lucrative seasonal trades, with countries in the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East showing robust demand for premium Pakistani varieties such as Sindhri, Chaunsa, and Langra.
By setting clear and competitive export values, authorities aim to encourage stable trade, prevent under-invoicing, and ensure that Pakistan earns fair foreign exchange from its globally loved mangoes.
