Pakistan’s tax authorities have made installation of tracking and monitoring devices mandatory on all vehicles carrying cargoes from Afghanistan for transit trade from February 1, 2020, the News International reported.

“Presently, the consignments are not containerized and also tracking devices are not installed on vehicles carrying the goods,” an official at Pakistan Customs said.

“Therefore, it is decided that from February 1, 2020 all export goods (except fresh fruits and vegetables) from Afghanistan, in transit whether by seaports or land customs stations across Pakistan, would be in containers of international specifications and would also be secured through tracking device and seals of Pakistan Customs.”
The official said installation of tracking device decision has been taken in compliance with Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement 2010.
