Pakistan responds over Afghan media reports of taxes increase against Afghan export goods

*KABUL - Pakistan responds over Afghan media reports of taxes increase against Afghan export goods.*

*Pakistan’s embassy in Kabul on Wednesday rejected reports that Pakistan had increased its customs tariffs by threefold just as pomegranate season was in full swing in Kandahar.*

“The government of Pakistan has not implemented any such measure.

In fact, from last month, Pakistan is providing 24/7 services on its side of the Torkham border to facilitate rapid distribution of Afghan exports of fruits and vegetables to Pakistani markets,” Pakistan’s embassy in Kabul said in a press release on Wednesday.
