What this desk clears
What we handle
Every consignment type this desk files, examined and released under the correct regulatory workflow.
Clearance of APIs and drug substances for tablet, capsule, liquid and injectable manufacturing.
Clearance of binders, fillers, solvents, coatings and other excipients used in formulation.
Clearance of primary and secondary pharmaceutical packaging materials imported with your inputs.
We apply online for the DRAP clearance certificate for raw and packaging materials via PSW.
Correct HS-code classification and duty / sales-tax assessment to protect your landed cost.
Compliance with the DRAP raw-material clearance route and correct HS classification of manufacturing inputs.
For a pharmaceutical manufacturer, a delayed API shipment is a stalled batch. Pakistan imports the large majority of its active ingredients, mainly from China and India, so raw-material clearance sits directly on your production critical path. We treat it that way, filing DRAP raw-material clearance certificates promptly and reconciling every certificate of analysis, batch number and quantity against the declaration.
Because APIs and excipients are classified and dutied differently from finished drugs, getting the HS code right matters to both compliance and cost. Our team classifies each item correctly, applies the right assessment and flags any concessionary treatment your inputs may qualify for.
DRAP requires a clearance certificate for raw and packaging materials, applied for online with the requisite documents. We prepare that submission, link it to your Goods Declaration on PSW and carry it through the Assistant Drug Controller's review, so the paperwork is clean and the certificate is ready when the vessel arrives.
The result is fewer queries, less demurrage and a predictable, repeatable clearance you can plan production around, shipment after shipment.
APIs, excipients and packaging materials are cleared under DRAP with Pakistan Customs.
