ISLAMABAD: Senator Haji Hidayatullah Khan has urged Finance Minister Miftah Ismail to direct Pakistan Customs for clearance of containers whose Bills of Loading (including House & Master Bill) were issued from May 19, 2022 to June 15, 20222.
In his appeal , Senator Hidayatullah Khan stated that as Government of Pakistan has imposed ban on the import of goods, resultantly traders community are facing a great loss. He further stated that it is a common practice that an agreement was supposed to be executed well in time with traders for the import of goods and Government of Pakistan.
He said that traders community is bound to obey this agreement and due to non-implementation of said agreement ultimately traders suffered financial loss. Traders are paying US$200 per container from traders as detention of demurrage charges which is ultimately going to foreign companies.
