Full-span change between the first and last years PBS published 8-digit data for each direction (exports 2015-16→2024-25; imports the same endpoints). % growth is only ranked for items worth at least Rs 1 bn in one of the two years, to avoid tiny-base blow-ups; Rs change ranks everything.

Source. Pakistan Bureau of Statistics — External Trade Statistics (8-digit "by commodities and countries"). Values as-published, aggregated to Rs billion. PBS did not publish 8-digit data for a few years, so those gaps are filled from other sources and flagged: exports 2017-18 from UN Comtrade (calendar-2018, Pakistan-reported, shown at HS-section level only, converted to Rs at the FY2017-18 average rate); imports 2018-19 and 2019-20 as totals only, from Pakistan Economic Survey goods-import figures ($54.8bn and $44.5bn, converted at the SBP fiscal-year average rate) — Pakistan stopped reporting to Comtrade after 2018, so a commodity breakdown isn't available for those two years. All other years are PBS 8-digit; FY2021-22→2023-24 were parsed from PBS PDFs (import totals reconcile to 93–100% of the official grand total).
