KARACHI: The Collectorate of Customs Appraisement South Karachi reported Rs. 84 billion in customs duty collection under the faceless customs system in February 2025, reflecting a 52% increase from Rs. 55 billion collected in February 2024.
The Collectorate’s total revenue collection across all streams for the month reached Rs. 292.5 billion.
