Pakistan: Pakistan Bans Imports of Some Agricultural Products

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   PK2022-0007

To stem the burgeoning current account deficit and declining foreign exchange reserves, on May 19, 2022, Pakistan banned imports of many categories of agricultural products. Previously implemented non-tariff barriers already restricted importation of many of the products on the banned list; thus, the new measure will only impact a small percentage of U.S. export sales.
