The Adviser to the Prime Minister on Commerce and Investment, Abdul Razak Dawood, is of the purview that Pakistan’s entry into Amazon’s Approved Sellers’ List is a huge opportunity for local entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises for marketing and potentially selling their products in the international market.
While this development with Amazon has been in the works for a better part of two years, it is finally happening, and an announcement from the concerned divisions may be expected as early as June this year.
It had been learned on 7 May that Amazon would soon open the sellers’ registration of Pakistani companies with the efforts of the Ministry of Commerce and the Pakistan Embassy. The Ministry of Commerce has been working on this matter for a year.
The National e-Commerce Council (NeCC) had been instrumental in taking the issue forward as all the public sector organizations were represented there. All the work began after the Cabinet’s approval of the e-commerce policy at the end of 2019.
Although Pakistani products are already sold on Amazon as it has a good manufacturing base for textile, sports, leather, and surgical goods, the country has not been on Amazon’s list of sellers, because of which Pakistani companies either had to register from their offices outside Pakistan or produce for other brands on Amazon.
The major difference after being added to the sellers’ list will be that Pakistani companies will be able to create official identities using their local details and banks.
Congrats But More Option to be added :
1 Amazon not showing List of Warehouse Name & Location for Pakistan.
2 Amazon not showing List of Courier & Logistics Service from PK to FBA / Warehouse
3 Amazon not showing Payment % Deduction for Pakistan & What SBP/Bank Charges for Receiving of Officially Amount in PK Account
4 Exporter can be added item list on Amazon but how to CALCULATE Freight & Other Expenses?
5 What About Return & Exchange Goods?
6 How to Bear From Pakistan? What About Real Item to be Import in Pakistan? What FBR do for Return CARGO? Duties Applicable or Not ?
7 Some Cartons allowed to Export as Sample FOC, But what about Bulk Cargo ? How to Manage FORM E ? If we didn’t get the payment within the time frame then what SBP Response?
8 What about if some charges deducted by Amazon as commission or services charges and send payment then how to adjust FORM E with SBP ?
SBP, FBR So many changes in Rules about Export, Import & Payment Issue.
However, Pakistani Seller using Third Party Company or own company in USA/CANADA/UK for Export then send to AMAZONE FBA.
So Many Question List and Answer is Pending
