LAHORE: The Pakistan Customs Appraisement Mughalpura Lahore has detected a mass under-invoicing on goods imported from Thailand. An initiative has also been taken to recover the evaded revenue by the Customs Department.
The Collector Customs Mughalpura received information that M/s Serap Internationals imported a consignment which is not correctly declared. M/s Serab Internationals imported surveying instruments from Thailand that were declared with the value of $1155.
During the assessment, the Customs Appraisement found that the value of the imported consignment is more than $10million. The accused party caused the national kitty a big loss of Rs4.4million by doing the under-voicing. The Customs Appeasement Mughalpura also has a detailed record of exports and imports of the accused as well.
Subsequently, two Additional Collectors have been tasked to scrutinize the import data of the goods of the company to ascertain whether there is any recoverable revenue. The Additional Collectors in their report confirmed the corruption of mass under-invoicing done.
