PAKISTAN (continued)
Customs duty and a sales tax on the duty paid value is levied on all imports into Pakistan, but the duty is not collected on postal items upon which the amount payable would not exceed 12 annas.
Duplicate documents: Senders of commercial percels should, in their own interests, forward by air mail, directly to the addressees in Pakistan, duplicates of all necessary documents, for example, (1) clear customs declaration, (2) certificate of origin and (3) invoice showing, separately, the value of each item enclosed in the parcel. The receipt of these duplicate documents in Pakistan prior to the arrival of the parcels will enable the addressees to facilitate customs clearance. Compensation is not payable for damage to porcelain, glassware and other exceptionally fragile articles.
