Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers Association (PHMA) during the apparel sector meeting with Abbas Khan Afridi, Federal minister for textile industry urged that the yarn imported from India should be exempted from duty to put a stop to monopolization by the local spinning industry.
PHMA on analyzing trade with India found that the imposition of import duty on raw materials such as yarn will create a negative impact the apparel export sector. The tax imposition will allow local yarn manufacturers to maintain higher prices to restrict competition; which will make it difficult for exporters to survive.
