FBR Unveils E-Auction For Seized Vehicles
The Federal Board of Revenue has decided to launch an online e-auction module for non-customs paid vehicles, aiming to ensure greater transparency and efficiency.
The announcement was made during a high-level meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, where FBR officials presented details of the proposed system.
The module is designed to guarantee fairness in the disposal process and maximise government revenue from auctions of confiscated and tampered vehicles across the country.
FBR has also finalised a new Customs General Order prepared after detailed deliberations by a sub-committee tasked with reviewing existing regulations and policies.
DPM Ishaq Dar stressed that the step highlights the government commitment to technology-driven solutions ensuring transparency, accountability, and efficient management of public resources.

The meeting was also attended by the Law Minister, Special Assistant Tariq Bajwa, FBR Chairman, and senior officials from the Ministry of Information and Law.
Earlier this week, FBR announced a 40 percent regulatory duty on commercial imports of used vehicles up to five years old.
According to the FBR notification, the new duty will take effect from October 1, 2025, and applies to all eligible commercial import consignments.
This regulatory duty will be levied in addition to the tariff imposed earlier on July 1, increasing the financial burden for used vehicle importers.
The FBR emphasized that all importers must comply with the notification or face penalties and clearance delays at ports nationwide.
