You Need to meet below requirements :

  1. Sales Tax Registration: First of All make sure that you have registered your company with the Sales Tax Department as an Importer.

  3. Moreover, You would want to register your company with your local Chamber of Commerce, for Instance, Lahore Chamber of Commerce.
  4. If you are going to Import your own branded products like branded appliances or electronics, Mobile Phones in your local brand name, then you should also consider registering your ‘Brand’ under the local copyright law. This will safeguard your company brand against any misuse by any other party.
