5 Mistakes of Unsuccessful Importers in Pakistan
Followings are the 5 Mistakes of Unsuccessful Importers in Pakistan which are given below:

1) Not Having Correct Information about Import/Export Rules and Regulation
You have to research rules and regulation of a product that you want to import in Pakistan, the first thing you will check your required product must not be in banned, prohibited and restricted items list in Pakistan.

If you fail to collect this information, so ask from your customs clearing agent, your agent will make your life easy, and provide all your required information.

Then you will confirm the list of required documents of that particular product to clear customs clearance, again you will get custom agent's help to come up with required documents list.

After getting the list, now it's your job to collect all required documents before your cargo reach at the port and you start clearing process. if you fail to do so, then customs clearance process delay due to not having required documents, due to this you will have to pay demurrage charges, it increases your cost and reduces your profit margin.

2) Hiring an Unprofessional or Inexperienced Customs Clearing Agent
Now a day, freight forwarder also provide clearing agents services but they don't have any customs license and in Pakistan only licensed Customs broker can clear import/export cargo, so they get work from you and hire an agent so it also increases cost, therefore directly hire a customs agent to save extra cost. One more important thing, you must hire experience customs clearing agent, inexperienced and unprofessional agent create many problems.

3) Not Declaring the Correct Value in Customs
New importer deliberately not declare correct customs value because they think if they declare low value so customs duty and other taxes calculate less but they don't understand it's not going to work anymore in Pakistan, because Pakistan Customs determined the values of importable goods through Valuation Rulings.
