PAKISTAN
(continued)
Customs duty is levied in Pakistan on the full value of the articles sent, including postage, insurance, commission and so on. An addition of 6 per cent. to the declared value is made by the Pakistan customs authorities in assessing the duty unless such extra charges are shown in detail on the customs declarations, or unless it is made clear in the declarations that the charges have been included in the declared value. When the total duty on a parcel does not exceed 12 annas, the whole of the duty is waived.
Duplicate documents: Senders of commercial parcels 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.
