KARACHI: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) is mulling over to impose anti-dumping duty on import of tiles, it is learnt here.
Sources informed Customs Today that the FBR, in its budget recommendations sent to the Federal Ministry of Finance, has sought imposition of anti-dumping duty on imported tiles to protect local tiles industry.
