FBR proposes a 72-hour advance reporting rule for vessels carrying imports to Pakistan to improve customs documentation and cargo clearance.

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has proposed a rule requiring shipping operators to submit vessel-related import information at least 72 hours before a vessel arrives in Pakistan.

The proposal aims to improve cargo documentation, strengthen customs checks and support smoother import clearance at the country’s ports.

The proposed requirement would affect shipping operators and other parties responsible for submitting vessel and cargo information. The exact implementation details and effective date should be confirmed from the final official notification.
