KARACHI: Chairman Classification Committee Additional Collector Muhammad Haris Ansari has notified that importable items including Tel mouse, digital holy Quran and Hydrocarbon fluid would be classified as per existing tariff scheme of Pakistan Customs Tariff.

Tel Mouse (Item No.Z-D07) will be classified under PCT 8471.6020; Digital Holy Quran will be classified under PCT 8523.8050 and EXXSOL DSP 80/1000 Hydro carbon fluid will be classified under PCT 2710.1290.

Pakistan Customs Tariff (First Schedule to the Customs Act, 1969) is based on the Harmonized Commodity System (HS), which is updated by the World Customs Organization (WCO) every five years. In view of the changes made by WCO in HS Codes and Explanatory Notes, some Public Notices (PN) issued by the Classification Committee have become obsolete/irrelevant as the specific HS Codes have either been deleted or changed by WCO.

As a consequence thereof several Public Notices stand withdrawn with immediate effect being not in line with the existing scheme of Pakistan Customs Tariff.
