Abstract
This research investigates the issues of Textile exporters in the context of PAK-India trade relation. Data were collected from 100 exporters by using simple random technique. Data were analyzed by using SPSS-20 version, A structural questionnaire was developed for the reliability and validity of the data. It was revealed that respondents regard governmental regulations, customs procedure and licensing, technical standards and health regulations, sanitary and phytosanitary measures and certification as the major barriers to export. The anti-dumping and tariff barrier are not the major barriers but tends to be the major ones. The tariff barrier may be low due to several rounds of GATT and WTo. It was further revealed that the respondents regard the market access problems and labeling and packaging as the major barriers to export. Although not the major barriers but cultural one, the currency exchange rate and informational barrier tend to be the major barriers to export. The Legal and Political barriers, Languages and Customs, demand of the product, working structure / schedule of the targeting country, business environment are not regarded as barriers to export.
