Pakistani sellers on Alibaba.com may soon have a way to prove their export paperwork is real. Pakistan Single Window (PSW), the government’s online trade portal, and Alibaba.com have signed an agreement for a Trade Data Confirmation Service, so that a foreign buyer can have a supplier’s export declaration confirmed digitally.
PSW and Alibaba.com describe the service as an extra layer of assurance for the marketplace and its global buyers. The check runs through API requests and responses between the two systems, and the underlying trade data is not exchanged or handed over. Neither side has given a launch date.
For a small Pakistani exporter, the practical effect would be a verified entry sitting behind the listing, something a buyer in another country cannot easily judge from a product page alone. The parties say the aim is to raise buyer confidence in Pakistani suppliers and ease their entry into international e-commerce.
PSW chief executive Syed Aftab Haider said the arrangement shows how national trade infrastructure can support services that build trust, and that it opens the way for private digital platforms to work with the government’s single window to make better use of trade data. Summer Gao, who heads Pakistan business at Alibaba.com, said the partnership should help Pakistani exporters deal with global buyers more smoothly.
Alibaba unveiled logistics services for Pakistani exporters in May 2025. The agreement follows talks between Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and leaders of Alibaba International Digital Commerce at the World Bank Group and IMF annual meetings this year, where the minister raised speeding up PSW’s e-commerce platform and wanted payments crossing the border and export earnings to be easier to follow. Details such as which declarations are covered, whether exporters must opt in, and any fee have not been stated.
