FBR Chief Clarifies Faceless Customs System, Highlights Revenue Gains
ISLAMABAD – The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) chairman has clarified recent reports suggesting irregularities in customs operations, saying they stemmed from a misinterpretation of an initial audit observation.
FBR Chief [name] Langrial emphasized that the Faceless Customs System was introduced to boost transparency and prevent collusion between traders and customs officials.
He said the system has already resulted in a 30% increase in revenue and a fourfold rise in cases against non-compliant traders. Duties on luxury vehicles, he added, are being collected strictly according to official valuation tables, with all imports processed legally under the Import Policy Order.

Addressing delays at ports, Langrial attributed them to congestion and procedural requirements, dismissing any claims of irregularities.
The FBR chairman also warned that legal action will be taken against those responsible for leaking audit observations and spreading misinformation.
“Faceless Customs is a cornerstone of FBR’s reform agenda,” Langrial said, pledging to strengthen the system further to enhance compliance and efficiency, while taking strict action against anyone attempting to undermine reforms.
