Import values of sublimation paper from China, South Korea issued

Islamabad: The Directorate General of Customs Valuation in Karachi has announced new customs values for sublimation paper imported from China and South Korea. Previously, these values were not determined under Section 25A of the Customs Act 1969. The investigation into import data found significant discrepancies in the declared and assessed values of the goods.

To establish uniformity in the assessment process, the Directorate initiated an exercise to determine customs values of sublimation paper under Section 25A. A meeting was held on October 15, 2026, to hear the viewpoints of stakeholders, who were asked to submit supporting documents. However, no submissions were received, so the available records were examined.

Import data was reviewed based on declared/invoice unit values, assessed values, origins, quantity, description, and the relevant time period. The Directorate excluded aberrant and non-comparable entries that did not reflect the general commercial import trend and considered recent representative and comparable import data for determining the customs values of the subject goods.
