KARACHI: The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI) has strongly opposed any move to ban used IT equipment import by the government.
As there is zero existence of hardware industry in the country, this ban will directly affect thousands of vendors and businessmen associated with this industry.
Mohammad Mansha Churra, Vice President FPCCI said that used computers are being imported since 1999 as they are affordable to middle-class and the local people due to reduce cost, functional life of 5+ years and are friendly to new software which has great productivity.
The market share for refurbished PC is our country is 75 per cent of the total demand, and the resale is accepted globally as it the basic learning tool for the masses. People will get deprived of this facility if the said ban is imposed.
Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and importers, traders and vendors of used IT equipment strongly oppose any kind of ban against the imports of used computers and urged the Government to think before implementation of any move to ban used computers.-PR
