MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Traders in northern Balkh province on Thursday decided not to pay taxes on imported goods until the government abolished a recent hike in customs duty.
The traders from the northern zone held a protest gathering at the Balkh Chamber of Commerce and Industry office in Mazar-i-Sharif, the provincial capital, and said the increased duty on imported goods including some daily-use items had resulted in an unprecedented price-hike.
ArashYounisi, the Balkh chamber of commerce and industry director, said the Ministry of Finance’s move to increase the customs . . .
