HS 2106.90
Health supplements
Nutraceuticals, herbals and protein formats from GMP plants in Karachi and Lahore. The constraint on this line is regulatory, not industrial: halal certification and BPOM registration decide your launch date. We handle both alongside the sourcing.

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We do not publish a rate here, because a rate without your line number and its date is not usable.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.
Certifications required
| Certificate | Issued by | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Halal certificate | BPJPH, via SHLN where the Pakistani certifier's agreement with BPJPH covers the product | Postponed to 17 October 2028 (announced 16 October 2026; the amending regulation is not yet signed). |
| BPOM registration (SI, TI or ML) | Badan POM, Indonesia | Required before sale: SI for a health supplement, TI for a herbal medicine, ML for a protein powder registered as food. Held by the Indonesian importer the maker appoints. |
| Certificate of Analysis | Manufacturer or third-party lab | Per batch. |
| Free Sale Certificate | Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan | Required in the BPOM file, apostilled. DRAP issues it only for a product on free sale in Pakistan. |
Price logic
We do not publish prices. Here is what moves the number, and when.
- Active ingredient cost dominates. A 1000 mg herbal capsule and a 1000 mg vitamin capsule are different businesses.
- Registration and label artwork are one-off costs recovered across the first order. Small first orders carry them badly.
- Halal and BPOM lead times, not manufacturing, set the date you can sell. Build them into the price of your first shipment, not your third.
- Pack format moves the number more than most buyers expect. Blister and softgel cost materially more than bulk capsule in a jar.
