Import and export registration in Pakistan

Prerequisites before you apply

PSW registration builds on your other registrations. In practice, traders usually need an FBR registration, a business bank account and, typically, membership of a chamber of commerce or trade body. Because PSW is integrated with banks and other government departments, details must match across systems.

Who typically needs this

• New importers and exporters of goods
• Manufacturers that import raw materials or export products
• Traders moving from WeBOC-based processes to PSW

Documents and information usually required

• NTN / FBR registration — see NTN registration
• Sales tax registration where applicable — see sales tax registration
• Business bank account details
• Chamber of commerce or trade body membership certificate — see chamber membership
• CNICs of owners/directors and business documents (incorporation or partnership documents)

The exact list depends on your circumstances. We confirm it on WhatsApp before any submission.

How the process works

1. Readiness check

   We review which prerequisites you already have and what is missing.

2. Complete prerequisites

   We help obtain missing registrations such as NTN, sales tax or chamber membership.

3. PSW registration

   The PSW subscription and registration are completed and the prescribed fee is paid.

4. Ready to trade

   We explain how goods declarations and documents are submitted through PSW.

Important considerations

• Some goods require additional permits or certificates from other government departments.
• Keep your registrations (NTN, sales tax, chamber membership) active and consistent.
