The Ministry of Commerce has asked the National Board of Revenue (NBR) to suspend its order withdrawing bond facilities for imports of 10-30 count cotton yarn and requiring importers to provide bank guarantees.
The ministry’s Export Wing sent a letter to NBR Chairman, requesting suspension of the order pending further review.
Signed by Mohammad Khairul Alam, deputy head of Export-8 branch, the letter said the measure concerning imports of 10-30 count cotton yarn under HS headings 5205, 5206 and 5207 should be suspended to facilitate a more detailed review.
The request refers to an NBR order issued on Sept 7, 2026, under order number 51/2026/Customs/319. The order withdrew the bond facility for imports of 10-30 count cotton yarn and introduced a requirement to import the products against bank guarantees.
The Ministry of Commerce said the order should remain suspended until the matter is reviewed and a decision is taken.
Copies of the letter were also sent to the private secretaries to the commerce minister and secretary, as well as officials of the Export Wing and Export-2 branch.
