Pakistan's furniture exports: the numbers
| Figure | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| US imports from Pakistan of furniture, lamps and bedding (one trade group), 2025 | $168.1 million | UN Comtrade data, via Trading Economics |
| Furniture exports, July to October 2025 | Down 11.94 percent | Pakistan Bureau of Statistics |
What the numbers mean
The trade group above also includes bedding, cushions and lamps, so wooden furniture is only part of it. Hand-carved furniture is a niche with loyal buyers who value craftsmanship.
Where it is made
Chiniot is famous for hand-carved wooden furniture and inlay work. Gujrat and Lahore make wood and metal furniture.
Where it is sold
Carved furniture sells to buyers in the Gulf, the UK and the US, often for homes, hotels and restaurants. Across all products, the US bought $5.76 billion of goods from Pakistan in 2025, more than any other country.

A business partner, not a distributor
Many Pakistani furniture makers sell through distributors and importers. That can be good business, and we can help you win distributors as buyers. But when a distributor stands between you and the market, your name rarely reaches the end buyer and much of the value stays abroad.
We work differently. We are your US office and sales team, working for you:
| A distributor | Pak Export Partners | |
|---|---|---|
| Who owns the goods | The distributor buys your goods and owns them | We never own your goods |
| Whose name the buyer sees | Often the distributor's brand, not yours | Your company and your brand |
| Who sets the resale price | The distributor, with its own markup | You set your price. We add no markup |
| How they earn | A margin on every unit they resell | A monthly fee plus commission only on paid orders |
| Who keeps the buyer list | The distributor | You. Every buyer contact is in your monthly report |
Because we do not buy your goods, we have no reason to push your price down. We win when you get paid.

Common questions
What is a Lacey Act declaration?
It is a US import form for many wood and plant products. It lists the wood species and the country where the wood was harvested.
Is furniture expensive to ship to the US?
Furniture is bulky, so freight is a big part of the price. We work out landed cost before you quote any buyer.
Do you buy furniture from us and resell them?
No. We are not a distributor. We never own your goods. You sell directly to US buyers, and we earn a monthly fee plus commission only on paid orders.
Can you help us sell to US distributors?
Yes. Distributors are often good buyers. We find them, present your products and follow up, and you keep the relationship and set your price.
