On 24 November 2025, the Government of Pakistan’s Ministry of Finance and Revenue (Revenue Division) issued an important update regarding service charges under the Pakistan Single Window (PSW) system. This change was announced through S.R.O. 2227(I)/2025, amending the earlier fee schedule introduced on 1 October 2021.
These updates are designed to refine the cost structure for traders, improve transparency, and streamline cross-border trade services.
Key Highlights of the New Notification
1. PSW Subscription & Renewal Fee
A fixed charge has been set for subscription, account updates, and renewals:
-
Fee: Rs. 500
This applies to all PSW users regardless of business size.
2. SECP Verification Fee
For businesses integrating corporate information with PSW:
-
Fee: Rs. 500
This aims to ensure secure authentication for companies registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
3. Revised Goods Declaration (GD) Fee Structure
The most significant updates relate to Goods Declaration, which now uses a tier-based system based on the value of goods being cleared.
| Value of Goods | Fee |
|---|---|
| Up to Rs. 50,000 | Nil |
| Rs. 50,001 – Rs. 100,000 | Rs. 500 |
| Rs. 100,001 – Rs. 1,000,000 | Rs. 750 |
| Rs. 1,000,001 – Rs. 5,000,000 | Rs. 1,000 |
| Rs. 5,000,001 – Rs. 10,000,000 | Rs. 1,250 |
| Rs. 10,000,001 – Rs. 25,000,000 | Rs. 1,500 |
| Above Rs. 25,000,001 | Rs. 2,000 |
This structure offers lower costs for small consignments while keeping fees proportional for larger shipments.
Why These Changes Matter
The updated fees reflect the government’s ongoing efforts to:
-
Modernize trade processes under the PSW Act 2021
-
Enhance efficiency for importers & exporters
-
Maintain affordability for small and medium traders
-
Ensure sustainable operations of the PSW system
Overall, the revised schedule helps create a balanced and predictable cost model for Pakistan’s trade community.
Conclusion
The new S.R.O. provides clarity for all businesses using the Pakistan Single Window platform. With fixed subscription fees and a simplified Goods Declaration structure, traders can now better plan their operational costs. As Pakistan continues digitizing its trade environment, such reforms mark a meaningful step toward smoother, more transparent, and more efficient trade facilitation.
