Level playing field sought for makers of tractor parts PAAPAM says low valuation of imports has affected manufacturers LAHORE: The Pakistan Association of Automotive Parts and Accessories Manufacturers (PAAPAM) has stressed the need for providing a level-playing field to the tractors’ auto parts manufacturers. It has called for restricting import of parts which are being manufactured in the country, as under-invoicing and low valuation of imports have been hitting the industry hard. In a statement issued on Saturday, PAAPAM Senior Vice Chairman Abdur Razzaq Gauhar invited the attention of the Federal Board Revenue (FBR) cChairman towards this issue. He said undervaluation of imports by the customs authorities are turning the country into a trading hub by favouring commercial importers on one hand but on the other hand, it is affecting collection of federal taxes at the import stage.
