The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued fresh notification informing zero percent duty on import of raw sugar of cane sugar and beet sugar variants by the private sector, in a statement issued by the Ministry of Industries and Production here on Friday.
In its meeting here, the ECC allowed import of raw sugar by the private sector at zero customs duty with no limitations. This decision means that there is no capping on quantity of import or any linkage to timing of import of raw sugar.
The SRO spells out the withdrawal of 25 percent customs duty on import of raw sugar and the assurance that TCP will have no role in sugar import.
