He stated that the federal government has taken this step to facilitate exporters and promote regional trade.<\/p>\n<p>Under the revised arrangement, Pakistan will be able to export a range of goods to Iran, including rice, seafood, potatoes, meat, onions, maize and fruits. Exports of pharmaceutical products and tents are also included under the relaxation.<\/p>\n<p>The exemption includes partial relief from certain State Bank regulations, while the condition of repatriating export proceeds within the stipulated time frame will remain in place. According to the Ministry of Commerce, the initiative is expected to strengthen trade ties across the region.<\/p>\n<p>Jam Kamal Khan said the government remains committed to taking practical steps to boost exports and support traders.
