Karachi, August 07, 2018 (PPI-OT): PCDMA Chairman Arif Lakhani has expressed deep concern on the instruction of State Bank of Pakistan, instructed that shipment of imported good must be completed till August 10 and he demanded to extend the date.
He further expressed that State Bank of Pakistan has fixed July 20 for Bill of Lading and import till August 10 is not sufficient time because most of the importers does not know that instruction and their Shipment dates are also different, those importers whose dates are after July 20, their containers worth million of Rupees stuck up at Port for clearance. He further said State Bank of Pakistan should take PCDMA on board, so that problem faced by importers must be solved.
