KARACHI: Importers and clearing agents have expressed deepest concerns over delay in clearance of consignments, even after the installation of new computer-based WeBOC system at the terminals of the Karachi Port and the Port Qasim.
Sources told Customs Today that importers still have to wait days for clearance of their consignments even customs had installed WeBOC system at terminals but customs staff still works manually instead of using the new system.
They said that the customs has raised a number of deputy collectors and assistant commissioners at terminals but importers were still facing delaying problems. “Customs has separated the Port Qasim operations from the Karachi Port after installation of WeBOC system and have raised staff too, but traders were still facing same problems,” they added.
