Solar panel import from China to Pakistan from Ibrahim Logistics: Container freight and customs clearance for solar panels, inverters and batteries imported from China.
Pakistan imports large numbers of solar panels, inverters and batteries from China. The cargo is high value and fragile, so packing, container loading, insurance and correct customs classification matter.
We arrange shipping from the Chinese port, track the vessel, file the import GD and deliver to your warehouse. We also check the current duty and any permits for each item before you place the order.

Tips to save time and cost
- Book 7–10 days before the cut-off in peak months – space and empties run short.
- Weigh the stuffed container (VGM) – overweight boxes are rolled at the terminal.
- Ask for the free days (demurrage / detention) in writing before booking.
- Use ISPM-15 treated pallets; untreated wood is refused in many countries.

- Ocean freight – per container (FCL) or per CBM (LCL), set by the line and the market.
