About the Company

Pakistan Single Window

Unified digital platform for import/export clearance

Pakistan Single Window (PSW) brings together importers, exporters, customs brokers, freight forwarders, banks, and about 77 government agencies on one electronic platform to digitize cross-border trade. Traders submit data online; the system validates, routes, and processes steps across agencies and banks, enabling online licensing, payments, and clearance while using an Integrated Risk Management System and replacing paper forms. It differs from others by being government-led and acting as a national, single-entry hub that integrates customs, tax, licensing, and financial steps across many entities, reducing fragmentation. The goal is to make trade faster, cheaper, and more transparent, cutting transaction costs and expanding digital trade services with plans to digitize related systems like the Port Community System and Airport Community System.
