Item Summary

“The United States is Pakistan’s largest trading partner in terms of exports. The US is also the largest global importer, increasing exports to the US would therefore be beneficial for Pakistan. It will also follow the old maxim that “increasing exports in an existing market is easier compared to increasing exports in a new market”. In this study of the US market, we look at apparel demand patterns in the US and try and see if Pakistan’s strengths match demand and if not, what Pakistan needs to change, especially in the policy area to be able to maximize this opportunity. The Study provides an overview of the top products of HS Code 61 and HS Code 62 imported by the US from its trading partners including Pakistan. The study then looks at what Pakistan currently exports to the US under HS-61 & HS-62 with the objective of finding gaps in Pakistan’s current apparel export portfolio to the US. The study relies primarily on secondary data supplemented with interviews with Pakistani apparel exporters to the US.”
