The government’s continuation of the temporary ban imposed on tile and sanitaryware imports will jeopardize local importers hitting several other domestic sectors, mainly
the construction industry, while depriving the government of much needed tax revenue in billions of rupees.
The outbreak of coronavirus has prompted the government to impose a temporary ban on all imports except a few essential items.
After considering the situation and appeals of importers, it has issued a new regulation dated July 16, 2020 in a special gazette notification canceling the previous regulation published on May 21, 2020 lifting the prohibition of many other imported products.
But to the dismay of tile and sanitaryware importers numbering over 300, the government has not lifted the ban on their imports.
