After outsourcing failed to make customs more efficient or increase revenue, in 2002 Pakistan began pursuing a modern single window system for customs clearance. In 2005 the system was introduced at the port of Karachi, replacing numerous procedures with one electronic declaration and sharply cutting customs processing times. Despite dramatically reduced tariffs, annual customs revenue grew dramatically after the reform-though tariffs and customs reform have since stalled.CC BY 3.0 IGOAIMAUTOMATIONBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTSBUSINESSESCAPACITY BUILDINGCARGOCELL PHONECOLLECTION OF CUSTOMS DUTIESCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMON CARRIERSCOMPETITIVENESSCUSTOMER SERVICECUSTOMSCUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIONCUSTOMS AUTHORITIESCUSTOMS BROKERSCUSTOMS CLEARANCECUSTOMS CLEARANCE PROCEDURESCUSTOMS DECLARATIONSCUSTOMS DUTIESCUSTOMS FUNCTIONSCUSTOMS INSPECTIONCUSTOMS OPERATIONSCUSTOMS PROCEDURESCUSTOMS REFORMCUSTOMS REGULATIONSCUSTOMS REVENUECUSTOMS RULESCUSTOMS VALUATIONDOCKSDUTY DRAWBACKSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTRONIC DATAELECTRONIC DECLARATIONELECTRONIC EXCHANGESEXPORTSFREIGHTFREIGHT FORWARDERSGOVERNMENT REVENUEHUMAN INTERACTIONSIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSIMPORTSINTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICESINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVENTORYMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMIGAOUTSOURCINGPHYSICAL PRESENCEPRIVATE SECTORREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESULTRESULTSSERVERSSHIPMENTSSHIPPERSSHIPPINGSHIPPING COMPANIESSHIPSSUPPLY CHAINTAX REVENUETRADE DATATRADE LOGISTICSTRADE REFORMTRADE REFORMSTRADE VOLUMEVALUE ADDED TAXESWAREHOUSESWEBWORLD TRADEWorld Bank10.1596/10503
