  • Report Name: Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards Country Report
    Required Report: Required - Public Distribution Date: January 29,2021 Report Number: PK2020-0019 Report Name: Food and Agricultural Import Regulations and Standards Country Report Country: Pakistan Post: Islamabad Report Category: FAIRS Annual Country Report Prepared By: Asmat Raza Approved By: Lisa Anderson Report Highlights: The report outlines regulatory requirements and import procedures for food and agricultural imports into Pakistan. Additions to the 2020 report include an executive summary and a trade facilitation section. Effective July 1, 2019, Pakistan implemented new labelling and halal food requirements for all consumer food and beverage imported products. The Import Policy Order issued by the Ministry of Commerce governs the importation of items into Pakistan. The federal government regulates Pakistan’s food imports, and the provincial governments regulate food safety standards. In situations where a product is not covered by existing regulations in Pakistan, officials generally adopt Codex guidelines. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED Disclaimer: This report was prepared by the Office of Agricultural Affairs of the USDA/Foreign Agricultural Service in Islamabad, Pakistan for U.S. exporters of domestic food and agricultural products. While every possible care was taken in the preparation of this report, information provided may not be completely accurate either because policies have changed since its preparation, or because clear and consistent information about these policies was not available. It is highly recommended that U.S. exporters verify the full set of import requirements with their foreign customers, who are normally best equipped to research such matters with local authorities, before any goods are shipped.
