HS headings shown at 4 and 6 digits. National tariff lines run to 8 digits and differ between Pakistan and Indonesia. Confirm your 8-digit line with your customs broker before you quote.

Tariff position

Preference under the Indonesia–Pakistan Preferential Trade Agreement applies to a listed set of tariff lines, not to whole HS chapters. Whether this product qualifies depends on your exact 8-digit national line and on a valid Certificate of Origin.

We do not publish a rate here, because a rate without your line number and its date is not usable. What to check, and where.

Price logic

We do not publish prices. Here is what moves the number, and when.

  • The season is the price. Kinnow in December and kinnow in March are different markets under the same HS code.
  • Reefer slot availability out of Karachi tightens sharply in peak season. The slot, not the fruit, is often the binding constraint.
  • Count per carton moves the number more than total tonnage does.
  • Quarantine protocol changes are the live risk. Confirm the Indonesian import permit is current before any fruit is picked.
