This was revealed by Embassy of Pakistan in Poland in a letter to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) a few days back.

Exports from Pakistan in 2001 stood at $25.3 million as compared to $21.4 million in 2000 and $18 million in 1999 while imports from Poland were $9.7 million in 2001, $22 million in 2000 and $15.7 million in 1999.
