Pakistan Yarn Export Tax Led To The Closure Of 25 Yarn Mills

　 In the past two weeks, due to the government's imposition of export tax on high-quality yarns, almost 25 spinning mills were closed, while local enterprises did not use high-quality yarns.

whole Pakistan Ejaz Gohar, president of the Textile Factories Association (APTMA - Punjab), said that the textile mills producing high-quality yarns have the ability to control their own inventory. At present, they are making preparations and assure buyers that once the government fulfills its commitment and cancels the ban on July 26, they will deliver according to the export order.

In addition, members of APTMA also said that cotton imports and exports are duty-free Yes, cotton is the basic raw material of cotton yarn. However, the price of yarn is high, and 15% export tax is levied on yarn exports.

In addition, although 4.5% tariff and anti-dumping duty are levied on imported polyester fiber, according to SRO 15 (I) on January 6, 2010, the import of yarn produced with polyester staple is not taxed.

APTMA's polyester staple fiber committee asked the government to cancel the textile industry Imported For all prohibitions on PSF and raw materials, they said zero tariff import should be adopted, mainly because the tariff rebate system does not work.

The mill further pointed out that the key to the surge in textile exports may be polyester staple fiber products, with the world's PSF consumption of about 65% and cotton consumption of 35%.

Because of the discriminatory tariffs imposed on polyester staple fiber products, Pakistan's textile sector is unable to enter the textile market based on PSF products.

The yarn mill claimed that the price of polyester staple fiber in China was 100 rupees/kg, and the price was FOB China (US $1.17 per kg), compared with 133 rupees/kg quoted by Pakistani manufacturers.
