The staff of DG Intelligence and Investigation and mobile squads has recently seized a large number of consignments of computer industry: Pakistan Computers Association (PCA) has expressed serious concern over the growing number of cases of harassment by the Directorate General of Intelligence and Investigation involving seizure of computer consignments during transportation by the courier companies and transport/cargo companies after due clearance from the ports.
The staff of DG Intelligence and Investigation and mobile squads has recently seized a large number of consignments of computer industry which were dully cleared by the customs authorities at the ports. During the transportation of such consignments by the transport companies, the staff of the directorate has intercepted a number of consignments, which were accompanied by the necessary import documents. The consignments have been seized even after submission of bill of entries and other import papers. The issue has been taken up with the present Director General of Intelligence and Investigation at Islamabad. He has assured that the staff would be barred from taking such actions causing harassment among the business community. It is unfortunate to note that the directorate’s staff is still involved in seizures of such consignments. Once the consignments have been cleared by the port and customs department, the checking and confiscation of duty paid computer goods during their transportation from one city to another by transport companies has no justification.
