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We do not publish a rate here, because a rate without your line number and its date is not usable.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We do not publish prices.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.

  • Screen size is the single biggest lever on chickpea. Specify it precisely or you will be quoted the cheapest screen that meets the description.
  • Pakistan's own crop and its import position both move the number. In a short year Pakistan imports pulses and the export price follows.
  • Bag versus bulk changes the landed cost by more than the bag price. Liner-bag loading fits materially more tonnes per container.
  • Quarantine treatment requirements can change between orders. Confirm the current Indonesian requirement before fixing the price.
