How pharmaceutical export from Pakistan works: a guide for importers & distributors
Pakistan is an established source of affordable, quality generic medicines for markets across Asia, Africa and the Middle East. For importers and distributors, sourcing from a Pakistani manufacturer means working through product registration, regulatory documentation and reliable supply — and choosing a partner who can support each step.
Why source generic medicines from Pakistan?
Pakistan's pharmaceutical industry combines competitive manufacturing costs with WHO-GMP compliant production and a broad therapeutic range. Manufacturers such as Star Laboratories produce both human and veterinary medicines across multiple dosage forms, making it possible to consolidate sourcing with a single, experienced partner.
The export process, step by step
- 1
Product selection & enquiry
Identify the products and pack sizes you need and confirm availability and indicative pricing with the manufacturer.
- 2
Registration & documentation
Most markets require product registration. The manufacturer supplies the dossier and a Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CoPP) to support your local registration.
- 3
Distribution agreement
Agree commercial terms, territory and supply arrangements with the manufacturer.
- 4
Manufacturing & shipment
Products are manufactured to specification, QC-released, packed per your market's requirements and shipped with export documentation.
What to look for in an export partner
- GMP compliance and a valid manufacturing licence (DRAP in Pakistan).
- Registration support — dossiers, CoPP and stability data for your market.
- A broad, consistent product range to consolidate sourcing.
- Export experience in markets similar to yours.
- Reliable, documented quality and on-time supply.
