Export Hand-knotted carpets from Pakistan to Malaysia
Malaysia imported US$5.1M of hand-knotted carpets (HS 5701) in 2025. India supplied US$1.2M of that in 2025, while Pakistan supplied US$40K, a gap of US$1.2M. Pakistan's share of the market is 0.8%.
That gap matters: buyers in Malaysia already source this product from South Asia and accept the shipping times, payment terms and documents involved. Pakistan's total sales to Malaysia grew 50% between 2020 and 2025, which suggests buyers there are increasingly open to Pakistani suppliers.
