| Working Hours |
0830 to 1630 Hrs. Sundays and national holidays are off. |
24 hours a day and we are never off. |
| Geographical limits |
Customs Collectorates are turf based. You are bound to Customs offices by your geography. |
Virtual Collectorate, no turf. You are liberated of geography. You can file Goods Declarations from HQ in Islamabad, and present your cargo for exports at Karachi. |
| Cargo Clearance Philosophy |
Stop all traffic and then release one by one.
Cargo has to be at the port for Customs to work.
All Customs issues even those that do not require physical verification are to be resolved while the goods are at port.
|
Only stop the suspect.
Customs work is phased.
1. Pre-arrival work.
2. Work while the goods are at the port.
3. Work after the goods have been cleared.
Goods are required at the port only for physical examination; all other Customs work can be completed either before arrival of goods or finalized after the goods have been exported.
|
| Special lanes or procedures |
Special lanes or procedure for separate clients viz; Gold or silver category etc. All processes are manual and are variations of the typical process as described below.
|
PACCS does not distinguish among its clients. We believe that all cargo is express, everybody is gold and deserves simple and automated facilities.
|
| Pre-arrival processing of cargo |
No pre-arrival processes
|
Once your goods declaration has been filed with Customs the terminal operator is authorized to accept containers as declared, list of documents that are required are also communicated to the TO. Next PACCS runs the declaration through its risk management engine statuses as determined by the RMS are held within the system and are disclosed to the terminal operator on the pass-in of the cargo. All assessment issues are also finalized before the goods pass-in.
If the cargo is not risky it is immediately allowed loading on pass-in and is taken straight to the vessel.
In case the cargo is risky it is brought to the examination area and further processing is dependent on the findings during examination.

| Goods Declarations filing and processing |
Paper based Goods Declaration, four copies each of invoice, packing list, form-E and any other document that Customs staff may require during processing.
Paper work is brought to Customs staff who print machine number on the documents and return them to you.
Goods Declarations can be filed only by agents; if you wish to file the declaration yourself, a license or a special permission each time from Additional Collector Customs is required .
After machine numbering you present your documents to the Customs processing staff called groups.

You are free to file Goods Declarations either yourself or through your agent; the choice is purely your own.

| Departure of vessel |
No process except Vessel rummaging
|
TO communicates online to PACCS "loading complete" status of all containers as loaded on the vessel.The vessel is allowed to sail out. Rebates are sanctioned by the system as soon as the vessel sails out.Cross checks are printed against the account number given by you in the profile and are handed over to the courier services for delivery at your address. There is no requirement for EGM since we are aware online of the cargo having been shipped abroad.
