The Complexities of Importing into Pakistan
Pakistan has a flourishing Science and Technology scene and is often flagged to be the next big Asian market for Tech start-ups. While opportunities are widespread in this rapidly developing country, some stringent trade restrictions on second-hand goods and goods of Israeli origin can cause time delays and become costly. The region is notorious for unpredictable clearance times, goods bans, product legacy delays, and steep compliance requirements, which regularly change, making it a challenging import destination. This and significant political instability are concerns that potential shippers should consider when looking at importing into Pakistan.
