New values on import of Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous fixed

The Directorate General of Customs Valuation in Karachi has set new customs values for imports of Sodium Sulphate Anhydrous from China, as reported by Business Recorder. The fresh determination appears in valuation ruling number 2107 of 2026, issued on Friday. It replaces an earlier ruling dating from 2016.

Colgate Palmolive (Pvt) Ltd had earlier filed a review petition under Section 25D of the Customs Act, 1969, which led to a revision order for Chinese-origin goods. The Directorate then launched a fresh exercise because the determined values had become old and needed to reflect current international prices and import trends. At a meeting, importers argued that international prices were higher than the existing values and asked for a re-determination based on ninety days of import data.

The Directorate examined the submissions, import records and international price trends, and treated the goods as industrial raw materials. The determination relies on sub-sections (9) and (6) of Section 25 under the Customs Act, 1969, and the Directorate describes the process as fair and transparent.
