Overview
Single Declaration (SD) is the submission of electronic data/information for clearance of import, export, and transit-related goods at a single point. SD is based on the concept of developing a ‘harmonized data set’ so that for a trade transaction or a transport movement to take place, the concerned actors are not obligated to submit the same data repeatedly to different agencies. Through PSW’s SD Export module, Pakistan Single Window Regulatory permissions will be given without traders having to approach different agencies. Information relevant to different agencies shall be submitted to the concerned agencies for processing. The single declaration will only cover ‘clearance-related’ applications and declarations of Customs and other government agencies.
