Pakistan and Uzbekistan have launched an electronic pre-arrival customs data exchange system, marking a significant step in regional trade facilitation. According to 'Profit by Pakistan Today', this initiative follows a memorandum of understanding between Pakistan Customs, Pakistan Single Window, and the State Customs Committee of Uzbekistan. The system allows customs officials to access shared data before consignments reach border points, which is expected to streamline customs declaration processing, enhance risk assessment, and reduce the time goods spend at border stations. This development is part of Pakistan's commitments under the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Programme, aiming to strengthen trade links between South Asia and Central Asia through improved digital coordination. 'Tribune Latest' also highlights the role of Pakistan Single Window in enhancing the WeBOC system to facilitate this data exchange, emphasizing its impact on reducing consignment dwell time at border stations.
