India,

Pledge
to
normalize trade ties


Top officials reach `broad agreement' in
New Delhi to liberalise business visas
which would help spur cross-border trade.
“We are hopeful that an agreement shall be
finalised during the next round of home
secretary level talks, slated for December”,
Indian Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar
said.
While operationalisation of the Most
Favoured Nation (MFN) status offered to
India by Pakistan remained an issue to be
discussed, both sides tried to take their trade
relations to the next level as their top officials
began talks on Monday to flesh out a plan to
open up trade.
Commerce
Secretary
Zafar
Mahmood and his Indian counterpart Rahul
Khullar reached “broad agreement” and
emphasised on the establishment of a
preferential trading arrangement (PTA)
between the neighbouring countries at the
two-day discussions in New Delhi — aimed at
doubling annual trade in the next three years
to $6 billion.
Mr. Mahmood also made a poignant
and heartfelt appeal to India during the official
talks.
“I want to assure you. Please have
trust and faith in the process (of the
normalization of trade). Times have changed.
The world is coming closer,” he said in his
opening remarks.
Mr. Mahmood said “Pakistan hopes
to cover a lot of distance” during this week’s
talks.
“Through this meeting we want to
create an atmosphere through which the
composite dialogue can go forward“.
Response
India responded by thanking Pakistan
for taking the first steps towards offering the
MFN status and flagged visa liberalisation as
the biggest hurdle in bilateral trade.
“We recognise that the current visa
arrangements are one of the most significant
barriers to expanding our bilateral trade,” the
Indian commerce secretary said during the
meeting.
Khullar said India and Pakistan have
reached a “broad agreement” to liberalise
4
business visas which would help spur crossborder trade.
The Indian commerce secretary said
that business communities on both sides
were also expecting a “substantial
breakthrough” to not only normalise the
trading relations between both the
neighbours but also establish a broad-based
preferential trade agreement.
“We are hopeful that an agreement
shall be finalised during the next round of
home secretary level talks, slated for
December,” he told the delegates.
During the recently concluded South
Asian Association for Regional Cooperation
(SAARC) Summit in the Maldives, Indian
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had
highlighted the need to establish a PTA with
Pakistan during his meeting with Pakistan
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.
“The cabinet not only gave its full
approval but also mandated the commerce
ministry to achieve complete normalisation
of trade with India,” Mahmood told the
meeting in New Delhi.
Khullar replied: “We welcome the
decision recently taken by the Government
of Pakistan to accord the MFN status to
India and to the mandate given for full
normalisation of bilateral trade relations as
also meeting of all legal obligations”.
In September, during the visit of
Pakistan’s Commerce Minister Makhdoom
Amin Fahim, India and Pakistan had set the
target of achieving $6 billion worth of
bilateral trade from $2.7 billion at present.
“We are open to preparing a
roadmap with Pakistan for a PTA under the
South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA)
process. I hope that through our
discussions, we will achieve a greater clarity
on such arrangements. Our goal should be
to reach peak tariff levels of no more than
five per cent for all major traded and
tradable commodities,” Khullar added.
Meanwhile,
India’s
Commerce
Minister Anand Sharma has said that he
would lead a trade delegation to Islamabad
next February at the invitation of his
Pakistani counterpart, Fahim.

Joint Statement of 6th round
of Pak-India trade talks
Pakistan and India have agreed that
best efforts would be made by the commerce
secretaries to push for further liberalisation of
the business visa, as both the sides observed
that present visa regime for businesspersons
was a significant barrier to the rapid
expansion of trade.
According to the joint statement
issued by Commerce Ministry, the 6th round
of India-Pakistan talks on Commercial and
Economic Cooperation was held during 14
~15 November 2011 at New Delhi, between
Commerce Secretaries of India and Pakistan
under the dialogue process which started in
2004. The Pakistan delegation was led by
Zafar Mahmood, Secretary Commerce, and
the Indian delegation was led by Indian
Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar.
Both sides expressed satisfaction
over the overall progress being made to fully
normalise the bilateral trading relationship. To
take forward the decisions taken during the
5th round of talks in April 2011, many bilateral
groups/subgroups were set up. Almost all of
these groups/subgroups have met and
worked on their specific designated tasks.
According to the joint statement, both
sides agreed that the present visa regime for
businesspersons was a significant barrier to
the rapid expansion of trade. It was noted that
the Interior Ministry of Pakistan and India’s
Ministry of Home Affairs had reached a broad
understanding to put in place reciprocal
arrangements which shall substantially
liberalise the visa provisions for business
persons. Discussions were held on how there
would be further improvements on the
understanding already reached. It was
agreed that best efforts would be made by
the respective Commerce Secretaries to push
for further liberalisation of the business visa
arrangements. However, with or without
enhanced provisions, both sides would work
with their respective authorities to ensure that
the liberalised visa provisions already agreed
to are put in place before the end of
December 2011.
The issue of promotion of bilateral
investment was discussed. It was agreed that
both sides would continue efforts to remove
impediments to such investments. On the
5
opening of bank branches in each other’s
countries, it was agreed that central banks
of both countries need to further discuss this
issue. Actual dialogue needs to take place
through a bilateral visit.
Meanwhile, it was also decided that
second meeting of the experts to examine
feasibility of electricity is scheduled to be
held in Islamabad in the first week of
December 2011. It is expected that the
Group of Experts will reach a final
understanding on grid connectivity at this
meeting. The first meeting of the Joint Group
of Experts to examine feasibility of trade of
electricity was held on 20th October 2011 at
New Delhi. Central Electricity Authority and
Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. / Power
System Operation Corporation Ltd. have
been designated as the nodal technical
agencies from the Indian side. They are
interacting with National Transmission and
Dispatch Company Ltd. of Pakistan to work
out the optimal technical solutions for grid
connectivity between both countries. A
broad understanding has been reached on
possible grid connectivity between AmritsarLahore to enable trade of up to 500 MW of
power.
Regarding trade in petroleum
products, it was agreed that the Joint Group
would hold its first meeting before January
2012. Regarding BT cottonseed imports
from India, it was noted that Government of
Pakistan has constituted a committee to
examine this issue. The first step may be
permitting limited import solely for the
purpose of field trials in Pakistan.
Both sides realised that there is a
potential for cooperation in information
technology, however, lack of information
regarding
capacity of
Pakistani
IT
companies, difficulty in availability of visa for
technical staff and absence of banking
facilities has hindered cooperation in IT
between the two countries. It was agreed
that NASSCOM in coordination with
Pakistan Software Export Development
Board would facilitate a road show for
Pakistani IT companies at Bangalore,
Hyderabad and other Indian IT Hubs in
February 2012.
The move to full normalisation of
trade relations shall be sequenced. In the
first stage, Pakistan will transition from the
current Positive List approach to a Negative
List. The consultation process on devising
this Negative List is almost complete. A small
Negative List shall be finalised and ratified by
February 2012.
Thereafter, all items other than those
on the Negative List shall be freely exportable
from India to Pakistan. In the second stage,
the Negative List shall be phased out. The
timing for this phasing out will be announced
in February 2012 at the time the List is
notified and it is expected that the phasing
out will be completed before the end of 2012.
In terms of the clear mandate given
by the political leadership, both sides agreed
to move towards enhancing the preferential
trading arrangements under the SAFTA
process. As agreed earlier, bilateral trade can
be significantly expanded by extending tariff
concessions on products of commercial
interest. Both sides designated the Joint
Secretaries in their respective Ministries of
Commerce as Chief Negotiators for working
on how to improve preferential trading
arrangements under SAFTA.
Both sides reviewed the progress
made in developing physical infrastructure for
trade through the Attari-Wagah land route. It
was agreed that the Joint Technical Group
overseeing the work would meet at the end of
November 2011 and there would be follow-up
monthly meetings in December 2011 and
January 2012. It was also agreed that all
infrastructure
construction
would
be
completed and fully operational no later than
the end of February 2012. This timeline would
coincide with the announcement of the
Negative List. The new trading regime will
thus be applicable to all trade through the
land route after the infrastructure at AttariWagah is commissioned.
A JWG meeting was held in August
2011; co-chaired by the joint secretaries of
the respective commerce ministries. The
Pakistan side furnished a specific list of nontariff barriers, as perceived by their business
community, for sectors such as textiles,
leather, cement, agricultural produce and
surgical instruments. It was agreed that these
would be comprehensively examined on the
Indian side and interactions would be
arranged between the concerned regulators
and Pakistan’s business community to
discuss and find solutions for all issues
raised.
A comprehensive discussion, “Nuts
and Bolts of Trade Facilitation”, was
6
organised in Delhi by FICCI, on September
29, 2011. Participants included Pakistan and
Indian business delegates,
technical
experts, representatives of Indian regulatory
bodies, and senior government officials. The
feedback received was that this seminar had
been most useful to address issues raised
by businesspersons as well as to dispel
misapprehensions. It was clarified that all
standards and specifications were nondiscriminatory, viz., they applied to all
countries exporting goods to India. The
discussions also explained how insistence
on specific standards by importers was due
to commercial considerations and not
because of any Government requirement.
A comprehensive special session
was held during this round of talks on
matters of concern to Pakistan side.
Detailed responses were provided by
concerned officers on the Indian side. It was
agreed that the JWG would continue
interaction to address any clearly identified
sector-specific barriers to trade. The Joint
Secretaries of the respective Commerce
Ministries would convene focused meetings
on these issues, as necessary. A delegation
comprising officers from various regulatory
bodies would visit Lahore/Karachi in the first
quarter of 2012 to provide necessary
outreach so that businesspersons in
Pakistan can be better informed about
India’s trade regulations, standards and
labeling/ marking requirements.
Both sides agreed to initiate the
process of a limited MRA as a formal
mechanism to address the issues of
standards and conformity assessment. It
was agreed that there was a need to
institute a mechanism for redressing
grievances arising from clearance of trade
consignments at land, sea and airports.
Pakistan side proposed that an agreement
be concluded between both countries to
address the concerns of the business
community. Indian side agreed to consider
this proposal and undertake further
consultations in this matter.
To
boost
bilateral
business
confidence for enhanced bilateral trade, both
sides agreed to encourage greater
interaction amongst the business entities. It
was noted with satisfaction that Apex
Chambers of Commerce and Industry on
both sides have formed a Joint IndiaPakistan Chamber at the apex level (FICCI
and FPCCI). Similarly, arrangements have
been worked out for regional-level Chambers
between Bombay / Mumbai and Karachi. It is
expected that a similar joint arrangements
between Lahore and PHD Chambers would
be worked out.
It was agreed to give a greater thrust
to this B-to-B interaction of trade delegations.
It was necessary to expand outreach and
information dissemination activities to bridge
information gaps relating to bilateral trading
environment and economic opportunities. The
Indian side noted the Pakistan side’s request
for mounting a Trade Delegation comprising
representatives of private sector who are
responsible for procurement of goods for
departmental stores, large retail shopping
chains and wholesale distributors.
It was noted with satisfaction that
India Trade Promotion Organization (ITPO)
and Trade Development Authority of Pakistan
(TDAP) had entered into a MOU for
collaborative efforts to promote bilateral
trade. The possibility of FIEO mounting a
trade exhibition at Lahore Expo was also
explored; this could be done in February
2012. TDAP intimated that they would like to
organise a lifestyle exhibition in New Delhi in
March, 2012 and invited Indian participation
at the Agro-Processing Value Addition
Exhibition scheduled to be held in Karachi.
Both sides appreciated the work
done by the Customs Liaison Border
Committee (CLBC) in resolving the
operational issues at Wagah-Attari. The
CLBC was mandated to undertake a
comprehensive overview of the requirements
to ensure expeditious clearance of goods
including
harmonization
of
customs
procedures and to make recommendations to
the Joint Working Group on Economic and
Commercial cooperation.
The
Subgroup
on
Customs
Cooperation met in New Delhi on 24th August
2011. It discussed issues relating to
harmonization in customs procedures,
facilitation of trade consignments, and
exchange of trade data and information.
Nodal customs officers on both sides have
been notified. They would maintain direct
contact on all matters pertaining to delays in
trade
consignments,
trade
document
requirements, and other matters of customs
cooperation. The Pakistan side handed over
a draft of the Customs Cooperation
Agreement. Both sides agreed that best
7
efforts would be made to finalize the
Agreement by 31st January 2012.
In conclusion, the Commerce
Secretaries of both countries expressed faith
in the ongoing process for increase in
bilateral trade. Institutional arrangements put
in place for promoting bilateral trade and
commerce would continue and the
concerned working groups shall meet as
required, to take forward the charted
th
roadmaps in this 6 round of talks.
The 7th round of talks would take
place in Pakistan in April/May of 2012.

IMPORT PROCEDURE FOR PAKISTANI MANGOES
Steps explaining the flow chart
8
There is one importation process
that can then be bifurcated into two
routes(which are shown in the flow chart
attached) depending on whether the
mangoes have already been treated in
Pakistan or need to undergo irradiation
treatment in the U.S. All the mangoes that
are being imported into the U.S. have to
follow Steps 1-5. If the mangoes are to be
irradiated in the U.S. then after step – 5
the activities on the left hand side of the
flow chart have to be undertaken. If the
mangoes have already been treated in
Pakistan then the step on the right side of
the flow chart have to be followed. Briefly
all the steps are given below: Mangoes must be grown at a
registered orchard and packed at a
registered facility in Pakistan. This is
to be done by the orchard through
NPPO/PHD&EC according to the
guidelines laid down by APHIS2.
Essentially NPPO/PHD&EC act on behalf
of APHIS/USDA and their registration
processes are already APHIS/USDA
approved. The orchard must also have an
FDA Registration Number which can be
applied for on the FDA website
(www.fda.gov). This will take 20-30minuted
depending on computer proficiency of the
applicant. If all guidelines are met this
process (full and complete registration of
the Pakistani orchard will take between of
few weeks to a few months (Step 1-2).
 Anyone with a US permanent address
can apply for an import permit. The
importer must sign a compliance
agreement (the first step for an import
permit) with USDA prior to applying an
import permit at least 60 days in advance
of the shipment date.
8
The form for this is available online at
www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/p
ermits/plantproducts.shtml or by
calling (301) 734-0841 (Step-3)
The Importers must then have an
import permit issued by USDA as
well as the FDA registration number
(of
the
Pakistani
orchard)
compliance agreement has been
applied for and approved by USDA).
This is done on line separately with
USDA and FDA. The process take
less then half an hour depending on
the computer proficiency of the
applicant the US importer must have
the FDA registration for the orchard
and packing facility that they will be
dealing with since these have to be
provided to Customs and USDA
inspectors upon arrival of the
shipment (Step-3).
 The fruit/food must be packed in FDA
and APHIS approved packaging and
packing material. All fruit/food contact
surfaces have to be USDA and FDA
compliant (Step 4).
 The steps on the right side of the
flow chart (after step 5) will be
undertaken in case the fruit/food has
already been treated in Pakistan.
In case of irradiation in the U.S.
Arrangement must be made
between the exporting orchard /packing
facility and the importer and USDA as to
the exact arrival date of the consignment
as well as for a refrigerated truck to pick
up the consignment after it clears Customs
and take it to the APHIS approved
irradiation facility have to be made. Also
arrangements need to be made with the
APHIS approved irradiation facility as to
the exact appointment time for the
irradiation process.
 Copies of the Letters of Guarantee
(which states that all packing,
1
2
packaging and food contact surface
materials are FDA approved per title 21
Section 179.45 at www.fda.gov which
lists all approved materials including
boxes, tape, stickers, glue, mesh, etc.)
have to be sent by the exporter to the
irradiation
facility
prior
to
the
consignment reaching the facility. There
is a check list of 44 (forty four) items
needed to complete all paperwork
requirements for the APHIS approved
irradiation facility in order for the
consignment to be approved for
irradiation processing.
 Once all the paperwork requirements
have been met and the consignment is
ready to be shipped then the U.S.
Importer must notify USDA as to the
exact arrival date and time and at what
U.S., port of the entry it will be arriving as
well as the specific transit route from the
port of the entry to the APHIS approved
irradiation facility.
 Once the consignment has reached the
U.S, port then Customs and boarder
protection (CBP) will verify all documents
accompanying the consignment to
ensure it was properly treated and
inspected. This will take approximately 23 hours. Also if the consignment arrives
in the evening after 4 PM then CBP
verification will take place on the
following business day. The consignment
will then have to be held in cold storage
and arrangements need to be made with
the warehouse prior to the shipment
arriving at the port.
 After CBP has cleared the consignment
then it will be loaded in to a refrigerated
truck and shipped to the APHIS
approved irradiation facility where there it
will go through the irradiation process
which takes approximately 4–6 hours.
After the process is completed then the
consignment will ready for commercial
sale or official gifts.
