Customs registers FIR against industrial unit in Risalpur Export Processing Zone over alleged Rs117 million tax evasion

Pakistan Customs registered an FIR against Shippo Private Limited on November 6, 2026, after an audit at its Risalpur Export Processing Zone unit found a goods shortfall linked to alleged duty and tax evasion of about Rs117 million, Profit by Pakistan Today reported. The Peshawar customs collectorate opened the case following a targeted review of the company’s operations.

The inquiry followed the interception of a Shippo shipment at Karachi Port, where officials reportedly found the goods differed from those allowed under its industrial licence. Customs in Karachi also filed a separate FIR over the import, while an audit in Peshawar later identified missing stock. A fire occurred at Shippo’s premises on November 8; authorities had not determined its cause, and legal proceedings are continuing.
