The Directorate General of Customs Valuation in Karachi has raised the Customs values for empty glass bottles used in perfumes and cosmetics, as well as other similar types. However, pharmaceutical-grade empty glass bottles are not affected by this increase. This decision was outlined in a valuation ruling (2210 of 2026) issued on Thursday.
The Directorate noticed that the items had been evaluated at lower values previously. To maintain consistent valuation and protect government revenue, they began a process to determine the new Customs values under Section 25A of the Customs Act, 1969. They sent notices to importers and other parties involved, requesting their participation and supporting documentation.
Participants were asked to submit evidence like import documents, sales tax invoices, and other pertinent information. Despite requests, no documents were received. After a thorough review of all stakeholders' perspectives and a 90-day examination of import data, the Directorate concluded that the market conditions warranted the raised Customs values.
This determination was made transparently and in compliance with the law, ensuring a fair assessment of these goods.
