What is GSP+ and how does it help Pakistani exporters?

Quick answer

GSP+ is a European Union preferential trade scheme that gives Pakistani exporters duty-free or reduced-tariff access to the EU market for a wide range of products, conditional on Pakistan implementing international conventions. For exporters of textiles, leather, sports goods and many manufactured items, it lowers the tariff EU buyers pay — a concrete competitive advantage when proven with a valid statement of Pakistani origin.
