FBR Launches Tax-Free Livestock Import Scheme to Boost Meat Exports

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has launched a new scheme (SRO1752 of 2026) allowing duty- and tax-free imports of live cattle, sheep, and goats. These animals are to be fattened and subsequently re-exported as live animals or processed meat, aiming to boost Pakistan's export-oriented livestock industry. The initiative also covers tax-free import of animal feed, veterinary supplies, and equipment for related facilities. While this is a positive step for long-term export growth and foreign exchange earnings, its immediate impact on USD/PKR or local gold prices is expected to be limited.
