The Pakistan Leather Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PLGMEA) is urging the country’s commerce ministry to ban the export of raw, pickled, wet/dry blue, crust hides and splits and skins.

PLGMEA chairman Fawad Ijaz Khan claims exporters are "misdeclaring" wet blue hides to avoid paying the 20% duty. Banning all exports until crust stage would prevent this from happening, he said.
