PAKISTAN Single Window (PSW) has extended the scope of its operations to all dry ports (except Quetta) recently, a move that will further facilitate the country`s cross-border trade operations, as per a press release.

With the new development, goods and commodities clearance of commercial consignments classified under Chapters 1 to 50 of the Pakistan Customs Tariff has been completely switched to PSW, allowing clearance of imported consignments via submission of a Single Declaration.

The Single Declaration is a core feature of the PSW system which enables parties involved in international trade to lodge standardised information and documents at a single-entry point to meet the regulatory requirements of multiple government agencies simultaneously. •
