US Reduces Tariffs on Pakistani Goods to 19% Under New Trade Deal

In a significant development, the United States has reduced tariffs on Pakistani goods from 29% to 19% under a new trade agreement. This revision gives Pakistan a slight competitive edge over India (25%) and several other regional exporters, particularly in the textile sector.

The move is expected to boost Pakistan’s textile and manufacturing exports, while providing much-needed support to the country’s industrial base amid economic challenges. As part of the broader agreement, Pakistan will also begin importing US crude oil, signaling a strategic shift in energy sourcing and strengthening bilateral trade ties.

While industry leaders have welcomed the decision, analysts caution that the long-term impact may be limited unless local businesses invest in research, innovation, and production efficiency. They stress that sustainable competitiveness on a global scale will require more than just favorable trade terms — it demands structural upgrades across Pakistan’s export industries.

The deal is seen as a positive step in deepening economic ties with the US, but also as a wake-up call for Pakistan’s industrial sector to modernize and evolve.
