Pakistan Customs Mandates New Consignee Identification for Import Manifests
Ocean carrier Maersk has notified customers of updated regulatory requirements for shipping documentation and manifests covering inbound cargo to Pakistan.
Ocean carrier Maersk has issued an advisory to trade customers regarding updated, mandatory consignee identification protocols for all import cargo destined for Pakistan.
The regulatory updates follow the issuance of statutory regulatory order SRO 882(I)/2026 by Pakistan Customs. Under the directive, specific consignee identification information must be provided and incorporated directly into shipping documents.
The collected identification details will apply to data submitted as part of the country's Import General Manifest filing process. Shippers must submit the required consignee information to ensure accurate manifest lodgement with national customs authorities.
The revised filing and documentation requirements are scheduled to enter into force on 15 August 2026 across all inbound commercial freight destined for Pakistani ports.
