Transforming Institutions: Analysis of Pakistan Single Window: Challenges and Prospects
Keywords:
Transforming Institutions, Analysis, Pakistan, Single Window, Challenges and ProspectsAbstract
This research has been conducted to understand the “Pakistan Single Window” 1 (PSW), which is a new institutional facility allowing institutions involved in trade and commerce to lodge standardized information and documents with a specific point for entry to achieve importation, exports, transit and monitoring associated with Customs. This research examines how institutions actually function and how they grow, transform and adapt to a new climate of reform. Specifically, it investigates the potential for efficient trade clearance as a result of improved Customs processes with the implementation of Pakistan Single Window (PSW).
