Being part of a global effort to facilitate cross-border trade, PSW is designed to have an international dimension. The primary purpose of PSW is to enable Pakistan to better integrate into the international supply chain through digitization and paperless trade. With the rapid advancement in technology, it has now become possible to integrate PSW into a regional one with a global single window for trade as an aspirational goal. Our aim is to create and strengthen PSW’s international linkages and partnerships to achieve regional integration and improved trade.
 | Projects have been undertaken in PSW in pursuance of bilateral agreements with China, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan. PSW is also integrating with the e-Phyto hub created by the International Plant Protection Convention Secretariat (IPPC) for the electronic exchange of phytosanitary certificates amongst member countries. Previously PSW became the first country in the region to successfully integrate with Trade Lens owned by IBM/Maersk for the exchange of international shipping data. In addition to technical integrations, PSW also participates in international knowledge-sharing events and seminars organized by WCO, UNESCAP, UNITC, and other trade-related international organizations. |
