Karachi Customs Agents Association (KCAA) has requested the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to delay the launch of Form-I module by July 2016. Nadeem Kamil, General Secretary KCAA, said that the association has sent a letter to the FBR and requested them to delay the launch of Form-I module after June 30, 2016 and start it initially on optional basis.
He said that Directorate of Reform & Automation was going to implement the Form-I under Weboc system and added that the KCAA after attending a demonstration session appreciated the comprehensive efforts of project team to log the import trade business towards a documented procedure of foreign exchange remittance. He said that although customs agents just have to select approved form at the stage of filling of Goods Declaration and demonstrated procedure of Form-I was mostly related to traders, they had some observations which could create a panic situation if the preparation before implementation would not be fulfilled.
He said that Form-I would create problems for those importers, who were doing business under one custom and were not yet registered with Weboc and the traders, who were already registered with Weboc and filing their Goods Declaration through clearing agents had forgotten their password.
He suggested that customs department had to arrange a special arrangement for issuance of new user ID's and refresh of earlier issued User IDs of those traders, who forget their passwords. Following the WeBOC software frequently shutdown in the month of March & April 2016, which might be due to over occupancy of workload & insufficient space on hard drive, it has been suggested to enhance work performance of hardware & software before the implementation of Form-I, he added.
