Simple, fast, transparent customs
clearance procedures encourage trade-and the resulting
tariffs and related taxes raise government revenue and
stimulate economic development. After outsourcing failed to
make customs more efficient or increase revenue, in 2002
Pakistan began pursuing a modern single window system for
customs clearance. In 2005 the system was introduced at the
port of Karachi, replacing numerous procedures with one
electronic declaration and sharply cutting customs
processing times. Despite dramatically reduced tariffs,
annual customs revenue grew dramatically after the
reform-though tariffs and customs reform have since stalled. |
