Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA)

Overview

PSW is a unified digital platform that enables traders to submit standardized trade-related information and documents through a single entry point to fulfill all import, export, and transit regulatory requirements. The integration of the Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA) with PSW further enhances this ecosystem by enabling seamless association and utilization of STZA quotas within Goods Declarations (GDs). Through this module, quota information shared electronically from the STZA One Window Portal can be accessed and applied directly within PSW, ensuring a streamlined and efficient workflow. This integration reduces manual intervention, improves processing efficiency, and supports a more transparent and technology-driven trade environment, facilitating ease of doing business and encouraging investment in Pakistan’s technology sector.
