May 09, 2023 (MLN): The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Monday amended the temporary importation of vehicles’ rules to curb the misuse of carnet de-passage or temporary importation of vehicles by foreigners and expatriate Pakistanis.

These rules are covered under Chapter VI of the Customs Rules 2001 which are aimed to prevent abusing the system by individuals looking to avoid paying duties and taxes on imported vehicles.

Under the new rules, the definition of the “tourist” has been updated and new provisions have been incorporated to strictly monitor carnet-related information through Pakistan Customs Computerized System and by keeping close liaison with Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), the notification read. 

The passport of the tourist will be flagged with the carnet documents for proper reconciliation of vehicles imported under the carnet facility, it added.
