TRENDS AND HIGHLIGHTS

Textiles is Pakistan's primary industry, accounting for 8.5 percent of the Gross Domestic Product, 31 percent of total investment, 46 percent of total manufacturing, 38 percent of total employment, and 64 percent of total exports. The industry has suffered over the last 7-8 years owing to increased competition in the international market, the rising demand for value-added textiles and the increase in production capacity in some of the developing countries. Higher prices for domestically-produced cotton as well as financial mismanagement within the industry further deepened the crisis. Pakistan's textile exports remained stagnant at about USD 5 billion for the first of these five years, but have started declining steadily over the last two years. The industry is faced with huge losses and almost 20 percent of its productive capacity is closed.

Cotton remains the basic raw material for Pakistan's textile industry, which today has an installed capacity of 8,358,000 spindles, 150,000 rotors, 17,000 air jet and shuttleless looms and approximately 200,000 to 250,000 auto and power looms. About 80 percent Pakistan's textile industry's consumption is based on cotton and the remaining 20 percent on made-made fibers, particularly polyester, acrylic and viscose. The country produces approximately 7 (480 lb.) million bales of cotton annually and this production satisfies over 95 percent of the textile industry's cotton requirements. Production has stagnated over the past several years owing to a weaker demand from both domestic and foreign consumers. Due to the importance of the textile industry to the national economy, cotton supplies have to be assured through imports if domestic production falls short of demand. Sizeable imports are made only in years when domestic production is insufficient cotton to support the industry. Pakistan's major suppliers of cotton fiber are Australia, the United States and the Central Asian Republics. In (Market Year) MY 1998-99, Pakistan imported 196,000 metric tons or 900,000 bales, against 120,000 bales in MY-98 and 279,000 bales the preceding year. MY 1998-99 imports from the U.S. were approximately 30,000 bales, down from 67,000 bales in MY-98 and 52,000 bales the preceding year. The country's imports for MY 1999-20 are forecast at 65,000 metric tons, or 300,000 bales.
Several of Pakistan's spinning units have closed or curtailed production, leaving only 6.5 million spindles and 85,500 rotors are in operation. Pakistan's production of yarn is approximately 1.54 metric tons (MT). Approximately 30 percent of the total production is exported. Major buyers are Hong Kong, Japan, South Korean, China and other Asian countries. IN PFY-97 Pakistan exported over 500,000 MT of yarn to earn over USD 1.41 billion, and in PFY-98 it exported 461,000 MT to earn nearly USD 1.16 billion. PFY-99's exports fell to 417,778 MT, but earnings dived to approximately USD 931 million.
Blended fabrics are becoming increasingly popular in the domestic market. The three most commonly used man-made fibers are polyester staple fiber, viscose staple fiber and acrylic staple fiber. Pakistan's total imports of man-made fibers from December 1, 1998 to November 30, 1999 was over USD 73.05 million. Only polyester staple fiber and polyester filament yarn are manufactured locally. Domestic production of polyester fiber reached 375,000 metric tons in 1997, and its imports declined from 17,960 metric tons in PFY-97 to 16,991 metric tons in PFY-98. Imports for PFY-99 are provisionally estimated at only 8,840 metric tons. Major suppliers to Pakistan are Taiwan, S. Korea, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia, owing to their price competitiveness. The U.S. does not have a share in this market.
Requirements for both acrylic and viscose staple fibers have until now been met entirely through imports. According to the Central Statistical Office, Pakistani imported 18,010 metric tons of acrylic staple fiber in PFY-97 and 14,611 metric tons in PFY-98. Imports for PFY-99 are provisionally estimated at 16,027 metric tons. Trade sources estimate that Pakistan annually imports approximately 25,000 metric tons per year of acrylic fiber, and another 25,000 metric tons of acrylic tow. Acrylic fibers are imported as raw, white staple fiber, raw white tow and dyed tow. Imports are from Italy, South Korea, Japan, Thailand and Europe. The only prominent U.S. supplier is Bollag International Corp. In addition, acrylic tow from Monsanto Company in the U..S. is imported indirectly through Mexico. Dyed acrylic tow is imported from the United Kingdom, Spain and the CIS.
Vicose is imported mostly as a staple fiber, but also in stock lots in the form of filament yarn and used for blending only. Viscose fiber imports were 22,405 metric tons in PFY-97, and 23,386 metric tons in PFY-98. Import estimates are 28,300 metric tons for PFY-99. The major suppliers are Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, India, China and Austria.
The demand for other synthetic staple fibers was 155 metric tons in PFY-97 and 13 metric tons in PFY-98. Demand in PFY-99 is provisionally estimated at 29 metric tons. A small quantity, approximately 2,000 metric tons per year, of metallic yarn is also imported, mainly from S. Korea. Metallic yarn imports have been limited because of their high prices. Other specialized fiber/yarn such as DuPont's LYCRA, KEVLAR and NOMEX are imported from the U.S., and SPANDEX is imported from Korea and Taiwan.
Pakistan's woolen industry has 118 units with 157,3217 spindles and 764 looms. Only 94 mills with 99,413 spindles and 544 looms are operational. The spinning sector, which is considered to be saturated and has shown little or no investment in the last 5-6 years, uses imported synthetic fibers and some raw wool to manufacture yarn. The woolen weaving sector produces fabrics, shawls, woolen blankets and carpets. It is comprised of a number of mills in the unorganized sector, and five composite mills. This sector is not expect to grow over the next 2-3 years owing to the seasonal nature of demand and the availability of higher quality imported fabric at attractive prices. Both the spinning sector and the carpet sector import raw wool. Imports are mainly from Australia and New Zealand, and are estimated at USD 7 million approximately. Imports of woolen yarn are negligible.

The statistical data given in the table reflects the importance of cotton to Pakistan's textile industry. As a result of the increasing preference for blended fabrics, trade sources estimate that the market for man-made fibers and filament yarns is increasing by 15 percent annually. The market for man-made fibers has been small and in PFY-99 was approximately one-third of the import marketfor cotton. Although cotton production this year (PFY-2000) is high and cotton imports are therefore expected to be limited to the long staple and extra long staple varieties, cotton will still account for the lion's share of the import market. Its reduction in its import market share will be reflected in a low growth rate for the import market. Domestic production of man-made fibers will increase with the coming on line of new units and the expansion of some existing units. Since country production figures are again largely based on cotton, the increase in the production of this crop through higher per acre yield and more acreage is expected to result in a 15-20 percent average annual increase in local production over the next two years. As the demand for yarn is currently increasing rapidly and exporters have suddenly commenced receiving sizeable orders, the export market size is expected to return to its earlier size of USD 1.4 billion over the next one-and-a-half to two years.
The U.S. is a major supplier of raw cotton to Pakistan. Imports increased from USD 21.43 million in PFY-97 to USD 23.46 million in 1998, but fell to only USD 7.55 million in PFY-99. The U.S. share of the import market may increase as the requirement for long staple and extra long staple cotton is increasing due to the increase in demand for finer cottons. The U.S. also has a small share of Pakistan's import market for man-made fibers. It is a supplier of acrylic tow and tops and dyed acrylic tow and has supplied polyester staple fiber in the past. In recent years it has commenced exporting specialized fibers and yarns to Pakistan. Estimates of imports of man-made fibers from the U.S. in CY-99 equaled USD 4.5 million. The U.S. share can be increased through the sale of all synthetic fibers other than polyester, especially specialized yarns and fibers, provided that it increases product awareness, reduces its prices and provides after-sales service to end-users as Far Eastern suppliers do. C. BEST SALES PROSPECTS

The following yarn and fibers offer the best prospects for sales in the Pakistan market:

Harmonized Code Description

52010000 Raw cotton, long staple and extra long staple variety.

54024910 Elastomeric yarn mainly composed of polyurethane like Spandex
and Lycra

55011000 Nylon filament tops

55013010 Acrylic fiber tow and tops

55031000 Nylon staple fiber

55041000 Viscose staple fiber

The Government of Pakistan (GOP) now offers a number of relief measures to assist the textile industry. These include the offer of export refinance at 8 percent; import for direct and indirect exporters through the No Duty No Drawback, Manufacturing in Bond and other Temporary Scheme without the payment of customs duty; sales tax and withholding of income tax; withdrawal of regulatory duty on acrylic fiber and polyester chips; a concessionary rate of customs duty on polyester resins and chips if imported by manufacturers of polyester fiber or yarn; and reduced electricity tariffs. In addition, it has recently pegged the price of domestic cotton to the price of cotton in the international market. This has already had favorable effects on the industry. Yarn exports are reported to have increased both because domestic prices of cotton are now more favorable; and because the worldwide recession appears to be starting to end. Trade sources estimate that yarn exports they will reach the USD 1.4 billion over a period of one and a half to two years.

Pakistan's cotton is of medium quality in both staple length and strength, and has a high contamination ratio. Only a small quantity of about five percent can be spun into fine and super fine yarns. To increase the quality of its products and obtain good prices in the international market, the country has to import long staple and extra long staple varieties of cotton. As the demand for finer qualities is increasing both at home and abroad, Pakistan will have to increase its imports of long staple (LS) and extra long staple ELS) cotton. In 1998-99, Pakistan imported between 35,000 to 40,000 bales of LS and ELS cotton, up from 30,000 to 35,000 bales the previous year.

Consumers have now developed a preference for blended fabrics. Pakistan's polyester plants have a capacity of 375,000 MT of polyester fiber and over 100,000 MT of filament yarn. Several of the small polyester filament yarn manufacturing plants of 6 - 8 MT capacity have closed as the price for their product is higher than the price of imported filament yarn. No other man-made fibers are manufactured locally. The three major man-made fibers imported into Pakistan are polyester, acrylic and viscose staple fibers. The local production of polyester fiber is expected to increase to nearly 500,000 metric tons by the end of Calendar Year (CY) 2000 as some manufacturers are currently considering increasing capacity. The expansion will leave a small market for good quality polyester staple fiber and filament yarn. In addition, Pakistan's first two acrylic staple fiber production units are now being established. They will collectively have a production capacity of 50,300 metric tons per annum. Their production will only partially meet growing demand. Acrylic tow and tops will therefore continue to be imported in the near future. There are also plans to establish a viscose staple fiber manufacturing plant with a production capacity of 10,000 metric tons per annum. The plant is to be operational by the Spring of 2000. Once again, its production will not meet requirements.

Increasing international competition has now made the textile mill owner aware of the need to diversify production. As specialized fibers and yarns for different uses are not produced locally, manufacturers have had to import them into the country. Customs duties on these are low. A foreign manufacturer has changed his line of supply from polyester fiber to high elastin fiber, which will be used in the production of a variety of products ranging from sports goods to brake linings. The company has also entered into a business venture with local manufacturer, supplying technical know-how and fiber to produce fire retardant fiber. The fiber will then be converted into fabric at another facility. D. MARKET ACCESS

Low incomes and limited budgets, high customs tariffs, freight charges, the higher value of the US Dollar versus the Pakistan Rupee and the U.S. businessman's lack of knowledge or interest in the Pakistan market have restricted the U.S. share of the market. The maximum customs tariff on all items except motor vehicles was reduced from 45 percent to 35 percent on March 31. The number of tariff slabs was also reduced to four. Customs tariffs are now charged at the following levels: 35, 25, 15 and 10 percent, therefore increasing, at least theoretically, the competitiveness of the imported products.
All importers are required to pay other taxes. These taxes include a one percent insurance charge on the C and F value of the imported goods, to which total is added another one percent handling charge. To this total is progressively added the customs duty, a 15 percent sales tax and finally a 5 percent income tax. Importers have to additionally incur other costs as banking charges, and clearing, forwarding and insurance charges. A list by harmonized code and description of yarns and fibers imported into Pakistan, together with the applicable customs duty rates is given as Appendix ÔA'.

Pakistan imposes low or no customs duties on those items which are either not produced domestically, or those which are produced in insufficient quantities to meet domestic demand. It also differentiates between imports by end-users for manufacturing purposes when domestic materials are not readily available, and imports by traders purely for retail purposes. For example, the import of raw cotton and raw wool is exempted from the payment of customs duties and the import of raw jute and linen is permitted upon payment of a customs duty of only 10 percent as these materials are not available in sufficient quantity from the domestic market. The import of all types of cotton yarn (other than sewing thread) by end-users is subject to a low duty of 10 percent, but its import for retail sale is subject to 35 pct. customs duty.

Pakistan discourages the import of filament yarns, but permits the import of synthetic fibers or tow of those fibers which are not manufactured locally, or are manufactured in small quantities and are unable to meet domestic demand. Duties on filament yarn are 35 pct., except for elastomeric yarn such as SPANDEX and LYCRA which are composed of polyurethane and are not manufactured locally. The customs duty on these materials is only 10 percent. Duties on synthetic and artificial yarns imported by end-users are 25 percent, but for commercial importers are 35 percent.

Pakistan does not impose any technical or safety standards on yarns and fibers. As generally accepted practice, however, the fibers or yarn must be non-toxic and hypoallergenic. The Uster value is generally used to judge the uniformity of yarn. The Pakistan Standards Institution (PSI) establishes standards for quality control, industrial materials and dimensions of engineering in Pakistan. The PSI has established 400 standards for textiles. These standards are voluntary and are not imposed. Standards for yarns are thus far limited to the following types: (I) cotton yarn, gray; (2) cotton yarn, bleached; (3) polyester/viscose blended yarn; (5) polyester/cotton blended yarn, and (6) sewing threads. Manufacturers may obtain certification from the PSI indicating compliance with these standards. There are no standards for man-made fibers. Manufacturers in Pakistan who have foreign affiliation or ownership follow the standards of their principals/parent companies.

The Pakistan Standards Yearbook, which contains a list of current standards, may be obtained upon payment of a fee of Rs.350 plus mailing charges; and the standards for yarns at approximately Rs.40 plus mailing charges from the following address:

APPENDIX ÔB'

ILLUSTRATIVE STUDY OF IMPORT COSTS

The example below shows the import costs for goods imported into Pakistan:

Base Price = Rs. 100.00

Freight Charges (10 percent average) = Rs.10.00

C&F Value = Rs.110.0..

Insurance Charge (One percent of C&F Value) = Rs.1.10 +=Rs.111.10
Landing Charge (One percent on C&F Value + Insurance Charge) =Rs. 111.10 + Rs.1.11= 112.21

Customs Duty (These vary on textile fibers and yarns. For the purpose of this
study, the imported item is taken to be dyed acrylic tow, on which the customs duty is 25 percent. The customs duty will be charged according to the following formula = C&F Value + 1% Insurance Charge + 1% Landing Charge + Customs Duty) = 25 percent of Rs. 112.21 = 28.05. Rs. 112.21 + Rs.28.05 = Rs.140.65
Sales Tax (15 percent on Customs Duty-paid value) = Rs.140.65/100 x 15 = Rs.21.097 + Rs. 140.65 = 161.74
Advance Income Tax (5 percent on Sales Tax-paid value) = Rs.161.74/100 x 5 + Rs.8.08 = Rs.169.82

Other Charges (Clearing, Forwarding and Insurance and Bank Charges) (8 percent of C&F Value) = Rs.110/100x8 =8.8 =
Therefore total landed cost = Rs.161.74 +Rs.8.08 +Rs. 8.8 = Rs. 178.62
