September 27, 2021: Chairman Federal Board of Revenue, Dr. Muhammad Ashfaq Ahmad accompanied by Syed Tariq Huda Member (Customs Operations) and Mr. Saeed Jadoon Member (Customs Policy) visited Torkham Border.

He reviewed the pace and quality of services being provided by Pakistan Customs to facilitate trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Immediately after his arrival, he ensured the clearance of about 1400 trucks loaded with fruit from Afghanistan which had got stuck at the border.

The Customs staff assured him to accelerate the process of 100 more trucks awaiting clearance.

Earlier, he held an important meeting with traders from both sides of the border and assured them of every possible assistance by FBR in ensuring the smooth and easy flow of bilateral trade.

He positively hoped that the Customs staff posted there will maintain the highest standards of professional conduct in the discharge of their official duty.

It is pertinent to mention that on Friday FBR had issued an important circular granting special exemption from Sales Tax to the import of fresh fruit from Afghanistan.

This rare concession by FBR is being appreciated by traders from both sides as a landmark decision that will certainly promote trade between the two neighboring countries.
