What changed
•    Pakistan Single Window (PSW) has eliminated EIF/EFE. Instead of bank forms per consignment, your banking profile and financial instrument (LC/Advance/Collection/Open Account) flow to Customs digitally via PSW.

Why it matters
•    PSW’s Single Declaration (SD Export) routes your data to agencies and risk checks; wrong HS (PCT) codes, incomplete financial info, or mismatched fields can trigger selectivity/holds.
•    SDs auto cancel if the consignment doesn’t gate in within 15 days of submission.

The 10-minute pre-filing checklist
1.    Confirm your PSW setup (2 min)
•    Subscription + Customs registration active in PSW.
•    Banking profile linked (Associate New Profile): IBAN and registered email/mobile match bank records.
2.    Pick the right payment mode (1 min)
•    In SD Export, choose LC / Contract-Collection / Advance / Open Account exactly as allowed in your banking profile; currency in SD must match the instrument.
•    Submission is blocked if declared value exceeds instrument balance or the instrument is expired.
3.    Classify correctly (2 min)
•    Enter the correct HS (PCT) code; PSW’s Integrated Tariff and risk checks use this to trigger OGA/NOC requirements and selectivity.
•    Misclassification is a top cause of inspections/holds.
4.    Align commercial values & Incoterms (2 min)
•    Invoice/packing list values and Incoterms (e.g., FOB/CIF) must match the SD.
•    For Open Account, no instrument association is required—but the bank receives your cleared GD data for settlement.
5.    Attach the right evidence (1 min)
•    Upload mandatory docs in SD Export (invoice, packing list, and any required COO/NOC per HS).
•    Only relevant data go to each agency, but missing docs stall clearance.
6.    Gate-in timing (1 min)
•    If cargo doesn’t arrive/gate-in within 15 days of SD submission, the SD auto-cancels—re-file to avoid dead entries that delay cargo.

After shipment: proceeds & bank undertakings
•    Exporter Undertaking via PSW: since 13 June 2025, Authorized Dealers obtain SBP’s revised Export Undertaking/Declaration through PSW (Appendix V 10A). Coordinate with your AD.
•    Realization timeline: baseline policy remains 180 days to realize export proceeds (per SBP FE Manual). Check with your bank for any sector specific instructions.

60-second final review before you click “Submit”
•    HS (PCT) code matches product on invoice/packing list.
•    Payment mode, currency, NTN/business name, and declared value align with the bank instrument.
•    Required COO/NOC (if any) attached.
•    Consignment will gate-in within 15 days of SD submission.

TL;DR
Link your banking profile in PSW, file SD-Export with the right HS code and matching financials, attach required docs, and complete the SBP undertaking via PSW. That’s the cleanest route to fast selectivity and no holds in the post?EIF/EFE regime.
