ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has implemented customs budgetary measures including raise in regulatory duties and Additional Customs Duty (ADC) on imported items from July 1, 2023.
In this connection, the FBR issued “customs budget notifications” (2023-24), here on Tuesday.
However, many import tariff relief measures and abolition and reduction in import duties announced in the budget (2023-24) are not part of the notification issued by the FBR.
In budget (2023-24), the FBR has abolished regulatory duties on a wide range of items including synthetic filament yarn of polyester and second hand clothing. The FBR’s budget implementation notifications do not reflect a reduction on RDs/additional customs duties from July 1, 2023.
