The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Monday issued new guidelines regarding baggage, restricting the passengers travelling to Pakistan from other countries from bringing items in large quantity.
The notification said that recommendations on amendments regarding the “commercial quantity” can be made within seven days.
The FBR also said that they will not be accepted after the stipulated period.
According to the notification, passengers will only be allowed to bring one mobile phone from abroad for personal use while other phones will be confiscated.
Meanwhile, goods brought from abroad would be considered for commercial use if they are worth more than $1,200, said the FBR.
The FBR, in the notification, added that the additional items will not be released on payment of duty, taxes and redemption fine.
