The government has recently imposed a regulatory duty on import of 36 new products, besides raising the duties on the existing 240 items in a fresh move to curtail rising trade deficit of the country.
These items primarily include eatable and luxury products.
“Burden of this passed on every yr [year] to ordinary citizens as revenue shortfall looms,” Khan asserted.
