Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) for Pakistan

Recent changes in Pakistan's import policy have introduced adjustments to the Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) requirements for certain imported products.

For some product categories, it is mandatory to conduct a Pre-Shipment Inspection and issue a Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) before entry into Pakistan.

Without a valid PSIC, products may face delays at customs, rejection, or additional costs.

Baltic Control® is an internationally recognized inspection firm authorized by the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) and is empowered to issue PSICs by providing PSI services in accordance with local requirements.

We support exporters throughout the entire PSI process – from compliance checks to inspection, certification, and local technical coordination in Pakistan.
