ISLAMABAD: The federal government is all set to revoke the ban on the import of cell phones, said well-placed sources, according to a media. The sources privy to the matter said that a notification in this regard is expected to be issued during the current week.
On May 19, the Ministry of Commerce banned the import of 38 items, including mobile phones, to control a bulging import bill and support the appreciation of the local currency. The commerce ministry issued SRO 598 to amend the Import Policy Order. It specified 800 Pakistan Customs Tariff (PCT) headings of banned items in 33 categories.
