It has come to our attention that a vlog recently published on YouTube contains false and misleading claims regarding the operations of the Pakistan Single Window (PSW) and its senior management. These allegations are baseless and appear to be part of a deliberate attempt to discredit PSW to protect the vested interests entrenched in the old system.

Pakistan’s pharmaceutical trade has entered a new digital era. The Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP), one of the country’s most critical yet complex regulatory bodies, is fully integrated into the Pakistan Single Window (PSW) platform. This reform enables real-time approvals, eliminates redundant paperwork, and improves access to essential medicines, reducing trade costs and clearance delays.

Pakistan has made notable strides in modernizing its trade processes, with the Pakistan Single Window (PSW) playing a pivotal role in transforming the country's trade landscape. Established under the World Trade Organization’s Trade Facilitation Agreement, PSW serves as an innovative digital platform designed to simplify the submission and processing of trade-related documents.

PSW would like to address the recent article titled "Customs fraud causes loss of billions" published on March 19, 2025, in The Express Tribune in which unsubstantiated and unverified claims have been made to unfairly implicate PSW officials in an alleged fraud committed by some importers and clearing agents through breach of system controls.

The Pakistan Single Window (PSW) is dedicated to improving the efficiency and transparency of regulatory processes related to cross-border trade to foster a conducive business environment in Pakistan. As part of this commitment, PSW is proud to announce the integration of the Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA) system with the PSW system. This integration marks a significant advancement in streamlining regulatory procedures for zone developers and enterprises, contributing to the modernization of trade-related operations in the country.

In the modern world of global trade, ports are vital gateways where goods from across the globe are received, processed, and dispatched. However, the complexity of port operations often leads to challenges such as delays, increased costs, and communication breakdowns among various stakeholders. The Port Community System (PCS) has emerged as a game-changing solution to address these issues and improve the efficiency of port activities.
