      <title>FBR takes U-turn on ban on bringing two mobile phones, more than $1,200 into Pakistan</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The chairman of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has suspended the implementation of proposed amendments to the Customs baggage rules of 2006, effectively halting a newly imposed ban on bringing more than one mobile phone into the country.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aaj News reported that the chairman has ordered the withdrawal of the proposed amendments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sources indicate that under the existing 2006 rules, travelers are permitted to bring in two mobile phones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The FBR chairman also rescinded the proposed ban on commercial imports exceeding $1200, directing that the proposed amendments be withdrawn and reconsidered through consultation before resubmission.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;On Monday, the FBR issued a notification detailing amendments to the baggage scheme, which included a complete ban on bringing commercial quantities of goods into the country and a restriction allowing only one mobile phone for personal use. This decision has now been reversed pending further review.&lt;/p&gt;
