ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Single Window (PSW) on Wednesday validated the regulatory content of 22 other government agencies (OGAs) in Trade Information Portal of Pakistan (TIPP) with active contribution of all trade regulators.

The TIPP serves as a single online repository for all cross-border trade-related information including updated trade regulations, processes procedures, statistics, forms, information requirements and fee structure etc. It will be fully operational by March 2022.

An official announcement said validation workshops were held separately in Karachi and Islamabad, respectively. The validation workshops were able to get sign-offs from different government departments. TIPP’s OGAs refer to those government agencies who are mentioned in the import and export policy orders.
