December 18, 2020: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Commerce, Textiles and Industry, Mr. Abdul Razzak Dawood on Friday announced that the Sri Lankan Government has taken back the increase in CESS on import of Kinnows and Mandarins.

Making the announcement via Twitter, he further said ‘The CESS has been reverted to Rs. 30/kg (from Rs. 160/kg). I thank the Pakistan Fruit & Vegetable Association (PVFA) for bringing this to the notice of MOC. I also commend the efforts made by our TIA in Colombo in this regard.’

‘I also wish to thank the Sri Lankan Government for its understanding and support. This positive development will boost the confidence of Pakistani exporters as the citrus season has commenced and Sri Lanka is one of the leading markets for small mandarins produced in Pakistan. I urge exporters to keep informing MOC of such cases so that timely corrective action can be taken. Fruits and Vegetables is an important priority sector in our Strategic Trade Policy Framework (STPF)’ he added.
