What is smuggling and its bad effect?

Feb. 28, 2014 - PRLog -- Smuggling means illegal import or export of goods with out the permission of the government and without paying custom duties. It is thus a very serious crime. It harms not one or two persons but injures the welfare of the whole nation. It is a pity that all of us know this still some of us are engaged in this dangerous activity and most of us are encouraging it in one way or another.

In a society people are individually and collectively responsible for the welfare of the society. The laws of a county are made to ensure peace and prosperity of the country. If some persons break these laws they are acting against the good of all citizens.

A persons however rich he may be can not buy every things he sees in the shops. In the same way a nation cannot import all the things of the world. If Pakistan imports goods from another country it has to pay in gold or goods. Thus what we import depends on the amount of goods we sell in the foreign countries. Our experts are limited. Naturally we can import a limited and selected number of goods. We cannot afford to  import things that are very much necessary for us. We should import things that are essential for our progress.

Pakistan imports machines steel and other such things necessary for our industry. Those things that are made in the country are generally not imported. Luxury goods like big cars expensive cloth cosmetics etc, are imported in a small quantity.  Very high custom duty is levied  on such imports and few persons can pay the price of these things.
