KARACHI: The clearance procedure of import/exported Monday suspended after the Customs Computerised Clearing System, Web Based One Customs (WeBOC), shut down throughout the country.
The system had also shutdown in April this year owing to expiry of storage hard discs. The entire Storage Area Network (SAN) shut down suspending all WeBOC operations.
All those goods, which are processed through Immediate Clearance Goods (ICG) at all the airports, could not be cleared and were stored at sheds on the airport. Just the consignments processed through the Green Channel were cleared while the consignments through Yellow and Red Channel were not processed. Only 30 percent of consignments are cleared through the green channel.
