Here’s a clear and simple breakdown of the difference between WeBOC and PSW in Pakistan’s trade system:

🔹 WeBOC (Web-Based One Customs)

Launched by: Federal Board of Revenue (FBR)
Purpose: Customs clearance system for imports & exports
Function:

• Handles goods declaration (GD)

• Manages import/export documents

• Used mainly by Customs, clearing agents, and traders

• Integrated with banks, terminal operators, and shipping lines

Main Use:
➡️ Processing and clearance of import/export shipments at ports & borders.

🔹 PSW (Pakistan Single Window)

Launched by: Pakistan Single Window Company (under FBR mandate)
Purpose: One-stop platform for all trade-related processes
Function:

• Allows traders to submit all regulatory documents (customs, NOCs, certificates, etc.) through a single online portal

• Integrates over 70+ government departments (Customs, SBP, DRAP, Plant Protection, etc.)

• Enhances trade efficiency, reduces paper, time, and cost

Main Use:
➡️ Streamlining trade by connecting all stakeholders (Customs + regulatory bodies) in one digital system.

🔄 Key Difference

• WeBOC focuses only on customs clearance.

• PSW is a broader digital platform that includes WeBOC + other departments, enabling full trade documentation through one window.

✅ In Practice:

Most traders now register on PSW to access and use WeBOC, but PSW continues to expand for end-to-end paperless trade.
