Italy imported US$346M of frozen fish (HS 0303) in 2025. India supplied US$2.3M of that in 2025, while Pakistan supplied US$1.9M, a gap of US$370K. Pakistan's share of the market is 0.5%.

That gap matters: buyers in Italy already source this product from South Asia and accept the shipping times, payment terms and documents involved. Pakistan's total sales to Italy grew 63% between 2020 and 2025, which suggests buyers there are increasingly open to Pakistani suppliers.
