The rollout of WeBOC (Web Based Customs Clearance System) at Sust border will not only facilitate China-Pak Economic Corridor (CPEC) by making trade through Pak-China border easy but also align Sust dry port with all the modern customs infrastructures existing all over Pakistan.
According to sources in customs department, WeBOC is the automated customs clearance system operation on all customs stations in Pakistan and before launching it formally at Sust, the chief collector customs (north) and collector customs (Gilgit-Baltistan) convened a special meeting with all chambers and traders at Customs House Gilgit to brief them about the system under talk. Since the rollout of WeBOC at Sust by the start of this season, numerous awareness seminars have been conducted to brief the traders about the benefits offered by the system to the government and continuous training sessions of trader communities have also been conducted at Sust dry port to train them regarding its application. Customs service centers have also been established to assist traders regarding GD filing and other allied matters throughout its operations. Rollout of WeBOC shall not only make the trade through Pak-China border easy but shall also align Sust dry port with all the modern customs infrastructures existing all over Pakistan.
It is further expounded for general awareness that the same traders and agents transacting at Sust dry port use WeBOC system on all other customs stations for clearance of their goods and Sust dry port is indeed no exception. Model Customs Collectorate Gilgit-Baltistan is fully geared to extend full facilitation to all genuine traders, however, this positive change has not been welcomed by certain quarters. All stakeholders namely Customs, National Logistics Cell, Special Communications Organization and National Bank of Pakistan, are fully motivated and trained to roll out WeBOC for the greater good of the country.
