Pakistan has a 0% treaty for copyrights.
To claim benefit from this treaty you must submit the W-8 form including your local tax payer ID as “foreign tax identification number”

Sealord How to get local tax payer ID ?

From the tax authority / government in your country.
If your country does not issue a tax payer ID, you can get an ITIN from the US IRS
