To smash the smuggling trend and smugglers out of business the only solution is to curb smuggling by cut in custom duties on commercial import of motorcycle spare parts.
All Pakistan Motorcycle Spare Parts Importers and Dealers Association (APMSPIDA) suggested this in its budget proposal for the year 2012-13.
The association further pointed out towards serious and alarmingly growing problem of smuggling of motorcycle spare parts on massive scale from China through Sust Border and Afghan Transit Trade, this is because of the high rate of duty.
The association further proposed that additional duty should be removed and maximum Custom Duty on motorcycle parts should be 15 percent to 20 percent.
