JALALABAD (Pajhwok): A higher customs duty is applied on goods imported through the Torkham border as compared to other dry ports of the country, which make the goods more expensive, traders in eastern Nangarhar province say.
The traders argue the Torkham customs department takes extra levy on goods in order to increase its revenue over other ports following a decrease in business activity at the port.
However, Nangarhar customs officials reject the claim of traders and say they apply customs duty on imported goods as per directives from the Ministry of Finance.
