ISLAMABAD: Syed Aftab Haider, Chief Executive Officer, Pakistan Single Window has said that Single Window is basically a part of Digital Pakistan.
Talking with press CEO of PSW (Pakistan Single Window) said that the Government of Pakistan under leadership of Imran Khan has focused a lot on three things number one is to increase exports to Pakistan, number two is that we have to improve our governance and also bring reforms in the government sector while at the same time, technology has to be used as Pakistan Single Window serves these three objectives.
The main objective of Pakistan Single Window is to set up a platform that allows you to remit as much as you have regulatory requirements related to import, export and transit trade or any amount of customs duty clearance or any amount related to it whether they want to transfer money abroad or bring it from abroad, they can all be on the One Window platform.
We all know that the level of automation in Pakistan Customs is very high and Pakistan Customs has been moving towards automation since the 1970s. Pakistan Customs still has a system called WeBOC in which you can import and export without using paper.
The single window is a step above WeBOC which is not only providing automation to the customs but also to all the entities which have a role in Import Export or transit trade.
