The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) made trading across borders easier by focusing on three crucial areas - enhancing the integration of various agencies with the Web-Based One Customs (WeBOC) electronic system; reducing the number of documents required for import/ export clearances; and enhancing capacity of Pakistan Customs officials for playing a proactive role in smoothly regulating border trade.
