The textile sector is facing uncertainty after amendments were made to the Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS) by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR). The Pakistan Textile Council (PTC) has voiced concern over the removal of key raw materials like cotton and yarn from the scheme, warning that this could create hurdles for exporters.
What Has Changed?
Previously, exporters were able to import cotton and yarn duty-free under the EFS. The recent changes, however, exclude these essential inputs. For a country whose textile industry relies heavily on raw material imports due to shortfalls in domestic production, this amendment could raise costs and reduce competitiveness.
Industry Concerns
Exporters fear the policy shift could:
- Increase production costs, especially for small and medium-sized manufacturers.
- Reduce export margins, making Pakistani products less attractive globally.
- Slow down order fulfillment due to supply chain disruptions.
PTC has urged the government to review the decision, emphasizing that Pakistan must strengthen—not weaken—its export sector to meet global demand.
