巴基斯坦考虑消除细支纱的进口关税

 

Pakistan mulls removing import duty on fine yarn

Pakistani Commerce Minister Engineer Khurram Dastgir said the government was considering removing the 10 per cent regulatory duty on fine yarn import but would keep the duty on coarse yarn in an effort to protect the commodity produced in the country.
He told reporters in Islamabad that Pakistan mainly imported fine yarn from India, Central Asian states and other countries to bridge the demand and supply gap following the drop in cotton production in the country.
He said the ministry was mulling withdrawing 10 per cent regulatory duty on fine yarn keeping in view the domestic demand. However, the duty on coarse cotton yarn will stay in place to give protection to the domestic industry as Pakistan mostly produces this type of yarn.
The 10 per cent regulatory duty came into force from November 1, 2015.
The minister declared that there was no progress on improving trade relations with India, but with Afghanistan some headway had been made in terms of trade agreements.

巴基斯坦考虑消除细支纱的进口关税

巴基斯坦商务部工程师Khurram Dastgir表示,政府正在考虑取消细支纱10%的进口监管关税,但保持粗支纱的关税来保护该国的商品生产。

他告诉在伊斯兰堡的记者，棉花产量下降后，巴基斯坦主要从印度、中亚国家和其他国家进口细支纱来渡过需求和供应的缺口。

他说商务部考虑取消细支纱10%的监管税来抑制国内需求。然而,对粗棉纱的关税将保留来代替给巴基斯坦国内产业的保护，因为巴基斯坦主要生产这种类型的纱线。

10%的监管税是2015年11月1日起生效的。

部长宣称改善与印度的贸易关系没有进展,但与阿富汗在贸易协定方面已经取得了一些进展。
