What Is Pakistan Single Window?
PSW, Explained For Pakistani Importers & Exporters

PSW connects Pakistan Customs with banks, regulators, and other agencies so one submission can satisfy multiple checks. It works alongside WeBOC, not instead of it, at every port and dry port in Pakistan.

The Basics

What PSW Actually Does

Pakistan Single Window is a national trade platform led by Pakistan Customs, built to meet Pakistan's WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement commitments.

One Entry Point, Many Agencies

Instead of submitting the same trade data separately to Customs, drug regulators, plant protection, banks, and port authorities across Pakistan, PSW lets you submit it once, whether your cargo clears at Karachi Port, Port Qasim, or an inland dry port.

Rolled Out Since 2017

PSW's implementation began in February 2017 under a phased, multi-year plan. Coverage has expanded gradually across Pakistan, category by category, ever since.

Government-Led Initiative

PSW is spearheaded by Pakistan Customs itself, not a private platform. It's part of the country's formal trade-facilitation commitments.

Connects Banks Too

Beyond regulatory agencies, PSW links in Pakistani banks and the State Bank of Pakistan for the financial side of trade transactions, not just customs clearance.

PSW Facts Worth Knowing

Key details that clear up common confusion for importers and exporters in Pakistan.

info

Not A WeBOC Replacement

PSW itself has stated publicly that it does not replace WeBOC. Both systems run simultaneously across every Pakistani port and dry port, with WeBOC still handling Customs-specific declaration and assessment work.

Gradual Migration

Some processes, like Drug Import Licenses, have already shifted from WeBOC to PSW's Single Declaration system at certain Pakistani stations. Migration happens category by category, not all at once.

FAQ

PSW Questions, Answered

What importers and exporters across Pakistan ask before subscribing to Pakistan Single Window.

Does PSW replace WeBOC? expand_more
No. PSW has stated directly that it is not a replacement for WeBOC. The two operate side by side at every Pakistani port and dry port. WeBOC remains the system for Customs-specific declarations and assessments, while PSW is the broader layer connecting other regulators, banks, and ports into the same process.
How much does PSW subscription cost in Pakistan? expand_more
PSW charges a one-time, non-refundable subscription fee paid via PSID during registration. Exact amounts are set by PSW itself, so check psw.gov.pk/subscription for current figures rather than relying on a fixed number here.
Do I need to visit anywhere in person for PSW? expand_more
Yes. Biometric verification is completed in person at a NADRA e-Sahulat franchise as part of the registration process, in addition to the online subscription steps. Franchises are available across Pakistan's major cities.
Who has to use PSW in Pakistan? expand_more
Importers, exporters, and their agents dealing with goods that require clearance from agencies beyond Customs alone (drug regulators, plant protection, marine authorities, and others) increasingly need PSW, alongside their existing WeBOC access, regardless of which Pakistani port or dry port they clear cargo through.

Confused about which system covers your shipment?

We handle both WeBOC and PSW filing at Karachi Port, Port Qasim, and dry ports across Pakistan, so you don't have to untangle it yourself.
