You'll need an importer number, some logistical support, a way to track your container from Karachi to the US port, some help with a CF7501, a trucker, a warehouse, a vendor and a few miscellaneous things like USDA clearance (foodstuffs), perhaps a refrigerated container and associated things- diesel, a generator, etc.
If you're new to the whole import-export game, try to find someone who can steer you towards a good broker. There are many brokers, both big conglomerate companies and small, mom-and-pop ones. Both do good work and sloppy work. If you're in Pakistan, contact one of the bigger players. He'll be able to help you obtain the CBP's importer number, without which you can't complete the import transaction. Normally food is free of duty, but you'll need some schooling on the intricacies of shipping commercial cargo, including cashiering, port processing fees, trucking expenses at both ends, etc. Finding a vendor is something you'll have to take care of on your own.
Best bet- contact a good freight forwarder/customs broker who knows the process and who has an affiliated office in the USA. Good luck!

First know the products that you wish to import that are also not bound by import quotas to the US. Then study the market potential before you look into the importing source.
There are plenty of products, including labour, which you can consider to import them either India or Pakistan.
