India → Pakistan trade corridor intelligence

1Live Corridor Intelligence

As of March 2026, the India-Pakistan pharmaceutical trade corridor is experiencing significant disruptions due to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran has led to increased freight rates and war risk insurance premiums, impacting shipping routes critical to this trade. Industry stakeholders in Pakistan have expressed concerns over these rising costs, noting that while current inventories are sufficient to prevent immediate shortages, the surge in freight and insurance expenses poses challenges for future trade activities. Some traders have temporarily halted import and export operations until the situation stabilizes and costs return to normal levels. (pakistantoday.com.pk)

In India, pharmaceutical exporters are bracing for shipment delays and higher logistics costs. The rerouting of ships and aircraft, along with rising war-risk insurance premiums, has pushed up freight rates and created uncertainty for time-sensitive pharmaceutical exports. Prolonged instability in the region could delay supplies and squeeze margins for Indian pharmaceutical companies that depend on West Asian trade corridors.

Additionally, the US-Iran escalation has disrupted vital trade corridors, leaving Indian pharmaceutical exporters on edge. The pharmaceutical sector is bracing for another round of supply-chain disruption as escalating conflict in West Asia threatens to push up logistics and energy costs.

2Geopolitical & Sanctions Impact

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, particularly the US-Israel conflict with Iran, has significantly impacted shipping routes between India and Pakistan. The escalation has led to increased freight and war risk charges, posing challenges for Pakistan's trade outlook. While current inventories are sufficient to prevent immediate shortages, the surge in freight costs and war risk premiums could pose significant challenges for future trade activities.

In India, pharmaceutical exporters are bracing for shipment delays and higher logistics costs as escalating tensions in the Middle East disrupt key cargo routes. Rerouting of ships and aircraft, along with rising war-risk insurance premiums, has pushed up freight rates and created uncertainty for time-sensitive pharmaceutical exports. Prolonged instability in the region could delay supplies and squeeze margins for Indian pharmaceutical companies that depend on West Asian trade corridors.

3Trade Agreement & Policy Analysis

As of early 2026, there is no formal Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and Pakistan. Trade relations between the two countries have been historically complex, influenced by geopolitical tensions and policy decisions. In May 2025, following the Pahalgam terror attack, India imposed a ban on ships carrying goods originating in or exported from Pakistan. This ban led to a sharp rise in freight charges and longer shipping times for Pakistani importers, as they had to rely on alternative routes and feeder vessels.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) continues to emphasize the importance of trade facilitation measures among member countries. In March 2025, WTO members underscored the need for continued focus on trade facilitation implementation and assistance, highlighting provisions for expediting the movement, release, and clearance of goods, including goods in transit.

4Landed Cost Breakdown

Estimating the landed cost components for Amikacin formulations shipped from India to Pakistan involves several factors:

FOB Price: The Free on Board (FOB) price for Amikacin formulations varies depending on the manufacturer and specific product. For instance, LINCOLN PHARMACEUTICALS LTD exported Amikacin formulations worth $2.5 million to Pakistan.

Sea Freight Cost per Container: Due to recent geopolitical tensions, freight rates have surged. Reports indicate that freight charges have roughly doubled, with additional surcharges ranging from $4,000 to $8,000 per shipment.

Insurance: War risk insurance premiums have increased due to the conflict in the Middle East, adding to the overall cost of shipping. (pakistantoday.com.pk)

Customs Duty: Pakistan imposes customs duties on imported pharmaceutical products. The exact rate depends on the product classification under the Harmonized System (HS) code.

Clearance Charges: These include port handling fees, documentation charges, and other administrative costs incurred during the customs clearance process.

VAT/GST: Pakistan applies a General Sales Tax (GST) on imported goods, including pharmaceuticals. The standard GST rate is 17%, but exemptions or reduced rates may apply to certain pharmaceutical products.

Local Distribution: Costs associated with warehousing, transportation, and distribution within Pakistan add to the landed cost.

Given the current volatility in freight rates and insurance premiums, the total landed cost per unit or per container can fluctuate significantly. Importers and exporters are advised to monitor these costs closely and adjust pricing strategies accordingly.

While DRAP may conduct inspections of foreign manufacturing sites, it also recognizes GMP certifications from authorities in WHO-GMP reference markets. (dra.gov.pk)

Pakistan Amikacin Market Context & Tariffs

Market size, import duties, and competitive landscape · MFN tariff: Pakistan's Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) import duty rate for HS code 30049099 is 0%.

1Pakistan Amikacin Market Size & Demand

Amikacin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is primarily used in Pakistan to treat severe bacterial infections, including those caused by multidrug-resistant strains. The demand for Amikacin formulations is driven by the prevalence of such infections, the country's healthcare infrastructure, and the availability of treatment options. In the fiscal year 2024-2025, Pakistan's healthcare expenditure increased by 8%, reflecting a growing investment in medical services and pharmaceuticals. While specific data on the market size for Amikacin formulations is limited, the importation of these products indicates a reliance on international suppliers to meet domestic demand. Domestic manufacturing of Amikacin formulations exists but is supplemented by imports to ensure adequate supply.

2Import Tariff & Duty Structure

Pharmaceutical products classified under HS code 30049099, including Amikacin formulations, are subject to a 0% import duty in Pakistan. Additionally, these products are exempt from the General Sales Tax (GST), aligning with Pakistan's policy to facilitate the importation of essential medicines. There are no Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) between India and Pakistan that specifically affect pharmaceutical tariffs, nor are there any anti-dumping duties imposed on these imports.

Competitive Landscape

Why Source Amikacin from India for Pakistan?

Manufacturing advantage, cost comparison, supply reliability, and strategic sourcing recommendations

1Why India for Amikacin — Manufacturing Advantage

India is a leading global producer of generic pharmaceuticals, accounting for approximately 31.9% of the United States' imported finished dosage forms (FDFs) between 2020 and 2024. This dominance is supported by a robust manufacturing infrastructure, with 134 FDA-registered FDF facilities as of November 2024. The country's cost-effective production is attributed to economies of scale, competitive labor costs, and a well-established supply chain. Notably, Indian manufacturers such as Granules India Limited have received approvals from stringent regulatory bodies, including the U.S. FDA, for their facilities dedicated to finished dosage forms. This combination of scale, cost efficiency, and regulatory compliance positions India as a preferred source for Amikacin formulations.

2India vs. China vs. EU — Cost & Quality Comparison

When comparing Amikacin formulations from India, China, and the European Union (EU), several factors emerge:

Price per Unit: Indian manufacturers offer competitive pricing due to lower production costs. In contrast, EU-produced formulations are typically more expensive, reflecting higher labor and operational expenses. Chinese products are cost-effective; however, concerns about quality and regulatory compliance can affect their market acceptance.
