ECC Approves New Customs Duties on Vehicle Tyres and Motorcycle Parts
What happened
The Federal Board of Revenue submitted a summary to the ECC on October 9, 2026. The ECC subsequently approved the imposition of new customs duties on specific imports. These duties include an 11% additional customs duty on imported vehicle tyres and 11% on imported motorcycle parts. Additionally, a 31% duty was imposed on motorcycle components imported by manufacturers instead of being locally produced, which includes license plate components.

Why it matters
The decision to impose these duties was made despite the country's pro-trade liberalisation National Tariff Policy. Dr. Rubina Athar, a member of the National Tariff Policy Board, stated that the matter was sent to the ECC without prior review by the policy board.
