The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has officially dissolved the Customs Intelligence department, citing poor performance and allegations of involvement in smuggling operations. The move is part of a broader restructuring effort aimed at reforming the Customs Intelligence and Investigation division, which will now shift its focus solely to monitoring activities.

In line with a directive from the Prime Minister, the FBR has issued a notification stripping Customs Intelligence officers of their authority to stop or release consignments, as well as conduct raids or sting operations. All ongoing cases and records are to be handed over to the Director General of Enforcement by November 12.

As part of this transition, Customs Intelligence offices in Rawalpindi, Multan, Hyderabad, and Gwadar have already been closed, with plans to shut down remaining offices across the country within the next 10 to 15 days. The department will now be managed by the Director General of Enforcement, who will also take control of warehouses and staff.

This overhaul comes on the heels of the recent dismissal of 27 high-ranking FBR officials, as part of ongoing reforms aimed at enhancing transparency and efficiency within the revenue collection system.
