The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has updated the list of perishable goods that can be stored in customs warehouses for up to three months, effective October 15, 2026. This change replaces a previous list issued in 1999. Under the updated regulations, notified perishable goods like betel leaves, cheese, eggs, milk powder, meat, and spices can remain in warehouses for three months, whereas other goods may stay for up to six months.
The revised list also includes tobacco, tea, cocoa, coffee, vegetables, fruits, edible vegetable oils, and oilseeds.

Warehouse licensees must provide a certification confirming their storage facilities meet these conditions, or face penalties under the Customs Act.
