ISLAMABAD: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has granted relaxation in importing vehicles from examination under transshipment at port of entry.
According to amendments made to Customs Rules, 2001, the FBR deleted the word ‘except vehicles’ from Rule 501.
The rule now redefined as: “examination of goods under transshipment to inland destination. – The consignment under transshipment except vehicles shall not subject to examination at the port of entry, unless-
(a) illicit fire arms or explosive material is detected during scanning;
(b) the goods are not carried to inland customs-station despite lapse of 72 hours of the arrival of the goods; and
(c) there is any specific information or cogent reasons to believe that the particulars are grossly mis-declared.”
