Customs authorities have revised the import values of glass tubing and glass ampoules used in the pharmaceutical sector, issuing a new valuation ruling to reflect updated pricing conditions.
The Directorate General of Customs Valuation in Karachi announced the changes through Valuation Ruling No. 2067 of 2026, covering imports from China and Europe.
The revision follows the withdrawal of an earlier valuation ruling after appeals from stakeholders, prompting authorities to conduct a fresh review and determine updated values.
During consultations, importers raised concerns that previous customs values did not match prevailing international market prices. They noted that the import value of clear glass ampoules from China was lower than earlier benchmarks.
Importers also highlighted pricing differences between printed and non printed ampoules, although limited data was available for printed variants.
Authorities said all submissions and supporting documents provided by stakeholders were considered during the valuation process. A market inquiry found that the products, being industrial inputs, are not available in the local market, limiting direct price comparisons.
Officials also examined alternative valuation methods but said these could not be applied due to a lack of reliable data on manufacturing and conversion costs in exporting countries. The updated valuation is expected to bring import pricing closer to actual trade levels while addressing concerns raised by importers and ensuring more accurate duty assessment.
