So according to the latest news here in Pakistan, Chinese Inhabitants have protested at the Airport lounge gate of the Islamabad International Airport for not wanting to pay the newly imposed on bringing phones in to the country of Pakistan. In the case mentioned above, two Chinese citizens are involved in carrying out a protest for refusal to pay duty on their smartphones. Both of the said Inhabitants were carrying with them a total of 6 phones with them and as per the standard regulations imposed by the government of Pakistan and the tax department, a person is only allowed to bring with him one phone which will be allowed to carry on a duty -free basis, but if he or she brings in lets say 3 phones with him/her, he will have to pay duty on two of his phones in accordance with the new regulations set in.
Now we know the new duty regulations is not something which would make our citizens and the Foreign people coming in to the country particularly happy, if anything people are still enraged with the amount of tax they have to pay to carry more then one phone, but it should not be forgotten that this is the law in terms of tax in Pakistan now and it has to be followed, no questions asked, so to protest against it at a place where many people are coming in and out of the country is creating havoc which is unacceptable in any country. Now, they may be foreign citizens but the law still apply for him and well in all honesty this is unacceptable from the people of China. They can’t just barge in like its their own country if they really have a problem with things they should write to the government not disrupt the ease of travel.
