Islamabad, Mar 2, 2025: The Directorate General of Customs Valuation in Karachi has introduced updated customs valuations for the import of unbranded and budget-friendly suitcases (both hard and soft types) from China.
This revision aims to ensure a precise calculation of applicable duties and taxes.
As per the newly released valuation ruling (1974 OF 2025), the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has adjusted the import values of these suitcases in response to requests from importers.
The revised pricing framework will now govern the import of low-cost, unbranded suitcases originating from China, ensuring a fair and transparent assessment process.
This move is expected to streamline customs procedures and create a more standardized approach to evaluating imported luggage items.
By refining the valuation structure, authorities seek to eliminate discrepancies, prevent undervaluation, and promote compliance within the import sector.
