It is necessary to mention here that Directorate General of Customs Intelligence and Investigation is an important arm of the FBR that maintains checks against evasion of duties and taxes across Pakistan.
Recently, this Directorate in collaboration with officials of Pakistan Customs has been able to identify cases of mis-declaration and evasion of duties and taxes at Sost Dry port. Besides generating additional revenue for the state’s exchequer, this collaboration has also enabled the identification of delinquent Customs officials, against whom disciplinary proceedings are underway. It is regrettable that some of these officials are attempting to feed stakeholders with misleading information as a diversionary tactic.
