Coffee · importers
Pakistan ranks twentieth of 96 at $861.3M in the coffee, tea and spices chapter, but the chapter is twelfth in its own import bill, a sign that something other than coffee is driving the number.

Figures are for the whole of HS chapter 09 (coffee, tea, mate and spices); coffee is only part of it. Source: UN Comtrade, as reported by national authorities; latest available year per market.
The chapter is 1.5% of Pakistan’s $56.5B imports and ranks 12th among its import chapters, far higher than for any other coffee market in this list. Tea is a staple beverage in the country and is imported in quantity, so much of the $861.3M is likely to be tea and spices rather than coffee. This is an inference about the chapter’s mix, not a measured split.
A coffee seller should treat this as a small coffee market inside a larger tea and spice one.
Malaysia is above at $880.3M and Sweden below at $739.8M. Pakistan’s 1.3% share of reported world imports is the same as Malaysia’s when rounded. Mineral fuels at $17.8B, electrical machinery at $6.2B and animal or vegetable fats at $3.2B lead the import bill.
Coffee demand is growing in urban centres through cafes and instant products, so the niche is real even if it is small. Importers may focus on instant coffee, roasted retail lines or cafe supply. Ask what the buyer sells and in what volume.
Foreign-currency availability and import conditions are practical issues that can change, so discuss payment security and confirm current requirements with the authorities.
China, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar lead the overall source list, which spans all goods and points to strong Gulf trade links. The $861.3M combines coffee, tea, mate and spices, and re-exports can affect rankings.

Twentieth of 96 markets at $861.3M in 2024, a 1.3% share of reported world imports.
It is 1.5% of $56.5B, most likely because tea and spices are large parts of the chapter, not because coffee is.
No. It includes tea, mate and spices, and coffee is probably a minor part here.
