Pakistan Customs achieved a historic milestone in June 2026 by collecting a record Rs467 billion in import-related taxes, marking the highest monthly revenue in its history. The figure represents a 33 percent increase from Rs350.3 billion collected in June last year, reflecting strong enforcement and improved compliance.
Official data showed that customs duty collections reached Rs158 billion during the month, up 24 percent from Rs127 billion in June 2025. Despite tariff rationalisation measures introduced during the year, Pakistan Customs exceeded its monthly customs duty target of Rs144 billion by achieving 110 percent of the goal.
For the full 2025–26 fiscal year, Pakistan Customs collected Rs4.692 trillion in import-related taxes, compared with Rs4.131 trillion in the previous year. This marked an annual increase of 13.6 percent. Customs duty collections for the year stood at Rs1.331 trillion, showing a 4 percent rise and reaching 99 percent of the assigned annual target.
Revenue from the Petroleum Development Levy on imports also increased sharply. Collections rose 20 percent to Rs752 billion, compared with Rs628 billion recorded in the previous fiscal year.
Chairman Federal Board of Revenue Rashid Mahmood Langrial said surpassing the monthly target highlighted efforts to facilitate legitimate trade while maintaining strong revenue growth. Member Customs Operations Syed Shakeel Shah credited the performance to higher efficiency, transparency, and ongoing digital reforms.
