Quetta Customs Seize Rs. 158 Million Worth of Smuggled Cars in a significant raid, highlighting ongoing efforts to curb illegal imports. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and customs enforcement authorities confiscated five non-duty-paid vehicles from a showroom on Saryab Road, Quetta. This operation demonstrates the government’s commitment to protecting the national exchequer and preventing illicit trade in automobiles.
The seized vehicles included a Toyota Revo 2020, three Toyota Land Cruisers, and a Honda Civic Hybrid 2007. All were imported illegally, avoiding import duties and taxes. Non-duty-paid vehicles like these cause severe revenue losses and undermine legitimate businesses in the automobile sector in Pakistan. Such smuggling of vehicles threatens both the economy and fair trade practices.
Customs enforcement authorities stated that this operation is part of a nationwide crackdown on illegal imports and corrupt practices in trade. Recent FBR operations have intensified across major cities to recover smuggled cars and other non-duty-paid goods. Nationwide vehicle raids help curb illicit trade, strengthen the government’s anti-smuggling campaign, and ensure the protection of Pakistan’s financial interests.
Officials emphasized that the crackdown on smuggled cars in Quetta is just one of many ongoing efforts to eliminate illicit practices. By targeting non-customs paid vehicles, the authorities aim to safeguard revenue, support legitimate automobile businesses, and deter future smuggling attempts. These actions reflect the FBR’s dedication to transparency, accountability, and the national economy.
The successful seizure of Rs. 158 million worth of smuggled cars in Quetta highlights the importance of strict customs enforcement and proactive government measures to combat illegal trade. Continued vigilance is necessary to protect Pakistan’s economy and promote lawful commerce.
