About E-Com Market Place
E-Com Market Place exists because of a specific gap: every platform will help a US buyer find a Pakistani supplier, and none will help them land the goods.
Why Pakistan
Pakistan is a rounding error in US sourcing — roughly $5.4bn against total US goods imports measured in trillions. But within specific categories it is genuinely world-class. Sialkot produces more surgical instruments than any other city on earth, and around 70% of the world's hand-stitched footballs. Roughly 95% of Sialkot's surgical output is exported.
Pakistan's total exports fell 5.6% in the last fiscal year. Exports to the United States held. For Pakistani manufacturers, America is the market that is still working — which means the supply side is motivated in a way it is not elsewhere.
Why now
Because the cost of being an importer rose sharply, and it rose fastest for exactly the buyers who can least absorb it. De minimis duty-free treatment was suspended worldwide in August 2025. Executive Order 14411 tightened importer-of-record requirements in 2026. CPSC certificate eFiling became mandatory in July 2026. FDA establishment registration now costs $11,423 a year and rises to $13,785.
For a small US importer, that is a set of obligations they have neither the expertise nor the scale to carry. For a 40-person workshop in Sialkot, it is an insurmountable barrier to a market that would pay them two to three times what they earn today. Both problems are solved by the same operating layer.
What we are not
We are not a supplier directory, and we are not trying to replace one. Pakistani manufacturers are already online — the large listing platforms have been operating here for years, and there is a national pavilion. Finding a Pakistani supplier is a solved problem.
We operate in a different layer of the same trade. Use a listings platform to find a factory if you like, then bring it to us to be audited, FDA-registered, inspected and shipped under escrow. What we do is the part nobody else does on this corridor: country- and category-specific regulatory operations, physical factory verification, and accountability for whether the shipment actually lands.
What we will never do
- Act as your Importer of Record
- Sell search ranking or paid placement
- Claim a verification means more than it does
- Deduct our fee from a supplier's export proceeds
