Pakistan Amends Customs Auction Rules for Inspection and Appeal Procedures

  • Pakistan’s Customs Rules, 2001 were amended to require goods offered for auction to be available for bidder inspection before the auction date, according to the Collector’s approved timeline.
  • Successful bidders must now submit a formal undertaking confirming they personally inspected the goods (or through an authorized representative) before bidding.
  • The undertaking also states that bidders cannot later object to, claim against, request rate revisions for, seek compensation over, or cancel the auction based on the goods’ condition or alleged discrepancies.
  • A new appeal right was added: a bidder aggrieved by a Collector’s order may appeal to the Chief Collector within 15 days.
  • The Chief Collector must decide such appeals within 60 days after giving the appellant an opportunity of hearing.
