The Ministry of Commerce has amended the Import Policy Order 2022 to permit import and re-export of military vehicles, helicopters, and assemblies under the Federal Board of Revenue’s Export Facilitation Scheme (EFS).
The amendment enables import for manufacturing, maintenance, and value addition, with re-export allowed under EFS conditions. It also permits the temporary import of used vehicles and chassis for armoring or bulletproofing.
The change was approved by the Economic Coordination Committee in June 2025 on the recommendation of the Special Investment Facilitation Council.
Input-Output Ratios for defence technologies will now be determined by a committee formed by the Ministry of Defence Production, bypassing the Export Development Board.
The FBR will notify stakeholders, including SIFC, once the changes are finalised.
