The changes have been incorporated in the new trade policy announced by the government.         

Pakistan has not fully implemented the the South Asian Free Trade Agreement, restricting the trade to a positive list of items. 

India on the other hand allows trade with Pakistan on all but a few times in the negative list.        

Though the trade between the countries has seen a big jump to over $1 billion over the past few years, a large part is still routed through third countries, adding cost to consumers.
