巴基斯坦：原棉4%的进口关税将被取消

巴基斯坦纺织厂协会(aptma)信德-俾路支省区域已经要求政府取消原棉4%的进口关税，因为该国棉花产量不太可能满足1450万包的需求。当前季节，该国当地作物的产量可能达到1125万包。

aptma在两个月前敦促政府撤销棉花的进口关税，该协会发言人在一份声明中说。那次政府否认取消它，因为它想要等主要部分的作物被出售。

发言人补充说，当地作物将不会满足纺织行业的需求，需要及时采取行动，这样出口才不受影响。该行业不能承受额外的进口税负担，这样才能与出口市场的国家竞争。

全国纺织品出口一直在减少，在该国80%-82%的作物已被使用。误导说，轧棉厂有足够的棉花库存来满足行业的需求，发言人说。

withdraw 4% import duty on raw cotton

the all pakistan textile mills association (aptma) sindh-balochistan zone has asked the government to withdraw 4 per cent import duty imposed on raw cotton as cotton production in the country is not likely to fulfill requirements of 14.5 million bales. the local crop production in the country is likely to touch 11.25 million bales in the current season.

aptma had also urged the government to withdraw the import duty on cotton about two months ago, the association’s spokesperson said in a statement. the government had denied withdrawing it around that time as it wanted to wait until a major portion of the crop was sold.

the spokesperson added that the local crop will not be meeting the textile industry’s requirements and action needs to be taken in time so that exports are not affected. the industry cannot bear the additional burden of import duty and compete against countries in the export market.

the textile exports in the country have been declining and 80 to 82 per cent of the crop produced in the country has already been used by the industry. it is misleading to say that ginners have sufficient cotton stocks to fulfill the industry’s needs, stated the spokesperson.
