Custom clearance agent Karachi from Ibrahim Logistics: Licensed clearing agent at Karachi Port and Port Qasim – KICT, PICT, SAPT and QICT terminals.
Karachi handles most of Pakistan's container trade, across four main container terminals: KICT, PICT and SAPT at Karachi Port, and QICT at Port Qasim. Each terminal has its own procedures, cut-off times and charges. Our Karachi team works at all of them every day.
Our head office is in S.I.T.E. Karachi, close to the port roads, so documents, examinations and deliveries are handled by our own staff – not passed on to a sub-agent.
