01
GLOBAL BUSINESS
Principal
Defines the commercial objective, cargo, ownership structure, end-use, buyer or seller relationship and contractual requirements.
Market-entry execution
Trade through Pakistan.
With roles defined.
IOR / EOR support for international businesses that need a transaction-specific local trade execution structure connecting commercial documents, customs requirements, logistics and delivery.
Local execution model
One transaction.
Four distinct roles.
Effective IOR / EOR execution starts by separating commercial ownership, local coordination, government authority and physical transport responsibilities — then connecting them through one operating plan.
02
LOCAL CONTROL
Aashmaan
Coordinates transaction readiness, documents, local interfaces, service providers, issue ownership and handover through one execution picture.
03
GOVERNMENT INTERFACE
Authorities
Customs and relevant regulators retain the statutory authority to determine approvals, declarations, assessments and release.
04
PHYSICAL EXECUTION
Carriers & Providers
Freight, handling, warehousing and transport providers execute assigned movement tasks within the confirmed shipment plan.

Responsibility matrix
Who owns what?
Make it visible.
IOR / EOR arrangements can fail when responsibilities are implied rather than written. A transaction should identify who provides, coordinates, decides and executes each critical input.

Transaction fit
Where the model fits.
Where it needs review.
IOR / EOR is not a universal shortcut. Product category, ownership, banking, taxes, approvals, end-use and contractual structure can change the appropriate local execution model.
✓
Potential fit
Structured local execution may help when…
- A foreign company needs a coordinated Pakistan import or export route.
- Commercial ownership and the local execution role can be clearly defined.
- Cargo, documentation and intended use are known before shipment.
- Regulatory and product requirements can be reviewed before execution.
- Freight, customs and final delivery need one local control point.
?
Case review required
Extra review is needed when…
- The product is restricted, licensed or approval-dependent.
- Ownership or title transfer is unclear.
- Tax, banking or payment structure is unresolved.
- The proposed importer or exporter role is not contractually defined.
- The transaction involves temporary import, re-export or unusual end-use.
IMPORTANT
IOR / EOR availability and role allocation are transaction-specific. This page describes Aashmaan’s coordination model and does not represent legal, tax or regulatory advice or a guarantee that Aashmaan will act as importer or exporter of record for every shipment.
Transaction sequence
Structure first.
Then execute.
The final transaction model depends on the cargo and commercial structure, but the operating discipline follows a consistent path from role definition through customs release and closeout.

CONTROL PRINCIPLE
No shipment should move on an assumed role that has not been confirmed.
IOR / EOR questions
Clarify the model.
Before the shipment.
IOR / EOR arrangements are transaction-specific. Early clarity about ownership, product requirements, tax and customs roles is more useful than trying to solve those questions after cargo moves.
No. The appropriate importer or exporter structure depends on the transaction, product, ownership model, regulatory requirements, banking, tax treatment and contractual responsibilities. The role must be reviewed and agreed before execution.
A local execution or IOR-type structure may be possible for some transactions, but availability depends on the specific product, approvals, commercial model and applicable regulatory requirements. The transaction should be reviewed before shipment.
Duty, tax, payment and banking responsibilities depend on the agreed transaction structure and applicable statutory treatment. They should be confirmed as part of the commercial and customs planning process.
Yes. Where the transaction structure is appropriate, Aashmaan can coordinate the surrounding freight, customs interfaces, handling, warehousing and final delivery under one operating plan.
Temporary import and re-export transactions need case-specific review of cargo, intended use, documentation, timing, approvals and customs conditions before execution.
Cargo description, value, quantity, origin, destination, buyer and seller relationship, intended use, ownership structure, available commercial documents and required timing provide a useful starting point.
