Trade or commercial licence for Pakistan: what and why
Licences prove that your business is allowed to manufacture or trade a product: municipal trade licences, factory licences, drug manufacturing licences, FSSAI licences and similar permits. Trade, factory, manufacturing, drug and FSSAI licences are issued by municipal, state or central authorities depending on the activity.
Distributors and regulators in Asia often ask for legalised licences and registrations when approving a new Indian supplier.
Companies dealing with Pakistan are most often asked for a legalised trade or commercial licence during product registration by regulators, as well as for plant or supplier approval and tenders.
A trade or commercial licence issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Pakistan accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
