PESHAWAR
President Frontier Custom Agents Association (FCAA), Zia-ul-Haq Sarhadi has welcomed the decision taken by the government of abolishing 100 percent duty on import of used cars and some other items.
In a press statement issued here on Tuesday, Zia-ul-Haq Sarhadi said the decision will provide a big relief to price hike stricken consumers and businessmen of the country.
The federal government, Zia added, had taken a decision in November 2022 of enforcing 100 percent duty to discourage import of used cars and to benefit local manufacturers of cars, but the decision did not yield fruitful results.
President FCAA said according to estimates the decision regarding abolishing of 100 percent regulatory duty will bring a reduction in prices of cars from Rs. One million to 20 million.
Zia Sarhadi who also holds the designation of Director Pak-Afghan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI) said the decision of imposing 100 regulatory duty only generated Rs. 400 million dollars revenue and badly impacted commercial activities in the country.
The duty was valid till March 31, 2023 in wake of two legal regulatory orders and due to its non-extension on expiry has ceased to exist, Zia added.
After abolishing 100 regulatory duty on imports, reduction in prices of different items is expected including new and old cars, home appliances, high tech mobiles, meat, fish, fruit, vegetable, shoes, furniture, musical instruments, cat and dog feeds and ice cream.
Around 700 stranded vehicles at sea port will also get a chance of release after implementation of the decision, Zia hoped.
