Pakistan has decided to roll out a fresh policy framework governing oil imports, aimed at giving international suppliers greater access to the country’s petroleum market. The move is designed to draw in more foreign suppliers while strengthening the country’s overall energy security buffer at the same time. How the Customs Bounded Storage Import Policy 2026 WorksThe newly introduced Customs Bounded Storage Import Policy 2026 lays out fresh rules specifically tailored for international suppliers operating in Pakistan. These 2026 guidelines give overseas suppliers a clear mechanism to maintain stock within Pakistan without triggering domestic duties and taxes immediately upon arrival. More Flexibility for International SuppliersBeyond the tax deferral benefit, the policy also hands foreign suppliers considerably more flexibility in deciding how to use their stock.
