15,000 used cars get clearance window

The Pakistani government introduced new directives to clear a backlog of 15,000 used cars at ports by accepting Pre-Shipment Inspection certificates from EAA Company and Auto Terminal Pak, while granting a one-time waiver for vehicles shipped between January 2026 and March 2026. Local automotive industry representatives criticized the policy, warning of Rs22 billion in potential losses and safety risks, as well as economic impacts from increased imports.
