LAHORE: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) collected Rs1,284.6 billion in customs duties during FY2024–25, marking a 16.4% increase from Rs1,104.1 billion in the previous fiscal year, with the petroleum, oil and lubricants (POL) sector contributing the largest share at 22.7%.
Customs duties accounted for 10.9% of FBR’s total revenue collection for the year, achieving 95.2% of the annual target.
Despite its dominant position, the POL sector posted a 9.1% decline in customs duty collection, though it still represented 22.7% of the total. The vehicle sector was the second-largest contributor, accounting for 13.4% of customs duty and driving 41.1% of the overall increase in collections.
FBR data further showed that customs duty growth closely aligned with the value of dutiable imports. The authority emphasized that duty collection trends reflect the import composition and underscore the government’s reliance on high-value imports to meet fiscal targets.
