Pakistan leather sector calls for separate HS code on used footwear

06/03/2026
Pakistan’s leather and footwear industry has urged the Ministry of Commerce to introduce a separate Harmonised System (HS) code for used footwear to improve monitoring of imports.

The request was discussed during a meeting between industry representatives and commerce minister Jam Kamal. The sector said used footwear is currently classified under a broader category covering used clothing and accessories, which makes it difficult for regulators to accurately track imports and assess valuations.

Officials from the commerce ministry said the proposal has been placed on the agenda for an upcoming meeting of the Tariff Policy Board and could be included in the next federal budget following consultations and approvals.
