ISLAMABAD – The Federal Board of Revenue has developed an online system to facilitate the importers and exporters for prompt clearance of goods electronically, avoiding any physical contact between the taxpayers and tax collectors.
The website, WEBOC (web based one customs), is one of the most modern and efficient system of clearance of goods which is available to most the countries around the world, said Zainab Mehmood, an official of the Directorate General of Intelligence and Investigation Customs, Lahore.
“The system seeks to create a paperless environment and to do away with the role of middleman agents,” Zainab said while addressing a workshop jointly organised by Directorate General of Training and Research FBR and Pakistan Furniture Council (PFR) on Monday.

The FBR move is meant to enhance transparency and reduce the level of corruption.
“The purpose of training of the senior executives, directors and general managers was to develop the understanding among the furniture industry to expedite their clearance of goods either for export and import,” Zainab added.
The new online system is also aimed at providing the business community more flexibility and a faster pace which fully ensures efficient supply chain of solutions for them.
