May 24, 2021
The Pakistan Industrial and Traders Association Front (PIAF) Chairman Mian Nauman Kabir has welcomed Pakistan’s inclusion on sellers list of world’s largest e-commerce platform of Amazon, saying that it would be a milestone for the National e-Commerce Policy, benefitting the youth, women entrepreneurs and the SMEs in the country.
In a joint statement with vice chairman Javed Siddiqi, the PIAF Chairman said that the move also credited sustained engagement with Amazon since the last quarter of 2019 by the Ministry of Commerce, Pakistan’s Embassy in Washington and the Consulate General in Los Angeles for this success. He said Credit also goes to the Pakistani diaspora and its continuous dialogue with the business community and public sector stakeholders through the National e-Commerce Council (NECC).

The ministry said that Pakistani manufacturers would gain access to a worldwide e-commerce platform with Amazon and it would open up a new chapter of the supply chain where Pakistani manufacturers could sell directly to customers.
Pakistan remained off Amazon s list of sellers despite the company s presence in neighbouring India, and Pakistani retailers wishing to sell their products on the marketplace would register their companies from other countries.
After being added to the list, Pakistani merchants will be able to sell their products on the platform with ease.
E-commerce giant Amazon has added Pakistan to its sellers list-making Pakistani entrepreneurs eligible to sell on the platform, the Commerce Ministry announced on Friday.
