Now as we are the part of approved list, it means that people can directly sell their goods on Amazon even if they are based in Pakistan and enjoy. Before it was very difficult to sell on Amazon if you are a Pakistani resident but now it has become so much easier providing many opportunities for entrepreneurs.

After Pakistan’s addition to Amazon-approved selling countries, accounts can be made using Pakistani details. This milestone will drastically change the game and result in a new era of economic growth as more sellers will visit the platform than ever before. A webinar was also organized by the Consulate General of Pakistan, Los Angeles and the Ministry of Commerce of Pakistan with senior executives of a few Pakistani companies.

In that webinar, Omar Gajial, a former senior executive of Amazon, shared with the participants what sort of opportunities will be available to Pakistani businesses to sell their products on Amazon and how they can derive maximum benefit from this opportunity once Amazon opens its Seller Registration for Pakistan.

Huge opportunity for Pakistan
