The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has strongly recommended Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and Ministry of Commerce to rationalize taxes including customs tariff on tea to control its smuggling, revisit negative list under the transit trade agreement and take up issue with the Afghanistan Pakistan Transit Trade Coordination Authority (APTTCA) to curtail black tea import which is in excess of Afghan demand.
