EPZ Risalpur Unit: Customs uncovers import irregularities, shortage of goods

Pakistan Customs has opened legal proceedings against Shippo Private Limited after finding alleged import discrepancies and a significant gap in its recorded goods at the Export Processing Zone in Risalpur. Business Recorder reported that a shipment linked to the unit was stopped at Karachi Port for review before permission to move it to the zone was issued.

Customs said the shipment’s contents did not match goods allowed under the unit’s licence, prompting one FIR. A subsequent audit estimated possible unpaid duties and taxes at about Rs117 million, and a separate FIR was registered on 06 November 2026. A fire occurred at the premises on 08 November, but its cause has not been determined; the Zone Authority is expected to review the incident.
