Pakistan government urged to update export regulations
Farrukh Sheikh, former chairman of the Pakistan Tanners Association (PTA) and a member of the Federal Export Board (FEB) and Commerce Advisory Group, has tabled a set of proposals to streamline exports in time for the government’s 2002-2003 trade policy. Measures within the proposals include allowing exporters to dispatch free samples – currently restricted – and the re-export of temporarily imported goods, supplied by the buyer free of cost, without sight of a letter of credit or advance payment.
