The REMIT programme, a five-year technical assistance initiative (2021-2025) funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom with Adam Smith International (ASI) as the implementing partner, plays a crucial role in our procurement activities. This programme is designed to support Pakistan in implementing strategic reforms across several key areas: economic development, trade, investment, and revenue mobilisation. In alignment with REMIT's objectives and the nature of FCDO funding, the procurement processes for projects under this programme, including those related to the Pakistan Single Window (PSW) initiatives, adhere to FCDO's procurement guidelines.

The Pakistan Single Window (PSW) initiative aims at reducing the time and cost of doing business by digitalizing cross border trade and eliminating paper based manual processes. The PSW is a public sector company incorporated under section 42 of the Companies Act, 2017 by Pakistan Customs and has been notified as the operating entity of the PSW system by the Federal Government under the provisions of Pakistan Single Window Act, 2021. The PSW system began rolling out in July 2021. Phase 1 of the system was successfully completed in June 2022 in line with Pakistan’s commitment under the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement. Currently, more than 73,000 users are registered with PSW using it to register online with Customs, file declarations for customs processing, and get their requests for import permits, release orders and other documents approved electronically.
