Uniforms and Safety-related Items
Trader Pakistan allows the sale of uniforms or ID badges as long as they cannot pose a security risk. If the items come from the police, emergency services, security companies or other security-related activities, there are restrictions on the sale.
Permitted Items
- Fancy Dress
- Trays that are clearly not official (for example, plastic or toy trays)
- Approved souvenir items, for example: Hats, mugs, brooches, pens, buttons, cufflinks, T-shirts and banknote clips
Allowed With Restrictions
- Police uniforms that have been taken out of use and which do not in any way resemble current police uniforms. This must be clearly stated in the description
- Historical tiles that are not similar to modern police tiles, provided that the description clearly states that the tile is a historical object or that it is issued by an organization that no longer exists
- Mini trays (about 3 × 3 centimeters in size)
Unauthorized Items
- Current, or recently applicable, police or emergency service uniforms
- Government uniforms, civilian uniforms or parts of uniforms (for example, ties, hats, fabrics) issued during the last 10 years or still in use (from, for example, the army, fire brigade, airlines, airports, railways or security companies)
- Military police badges, badges or badges from government agencies or other rescue services (such as the fire brigade), badges issued by national or international authorities, badges issued by private security companies and badges constituting film supplies
- Identification cards
- Jackets used in raids
- Lighting and sirens from emergency vehicles, blocking equipment
- Equipment for controlling traffic lights
- Copies or reproductions of police badges. Such tiles infringe the copyright and trademark of the issuing authority
- Originals, copies or imitations of name tags, ID cards, logos, safety instructions, manuals, maps or notebooks that are marked as confidential (from, for example, the police, the army, the fire brigade, airlines, airports, railway companies or security companies)
Reason For The Rule
Trader Pakistan has held discussions with the Police and other authorities regarding their approach to the sale of police or rescue services related items to the public. These organizations are worried that individuals may use washers or other items to improperly pretend to be police or part of the emergency services. In many cases, it is prohibited by current legislation to hold a police badge without permission.
