Export customs clearance in Pakistan – how it works

1. Send invoice, packing list and cargo details
2. We prepare and file the export GD
3. The consignment is assessed and, if selected, examined
4. Containers are sealed and gated in
5. Let-export order and vessel loading
6. We share the final documents with you

Documents you will need

• Commercial invoice and packing list
• NTN and export registration
• Export GD data
• Certificate of origin
• Phytosanitary, health or other certificates for regulated goods

Tips to save time and cost

• Send documents before the vessel arrives so the GD can be filed on day one.
• Keep HS codes consistent across invoice, packing list and previous shipments.
• Check permits (DRAP, PSQCA, plant protection) before the supplier ships, not after.
• Keep the certificate of origin ready to claim FTA duty rates.

What affects the cost of export customs clearance

• Duties and taxes – customs duty, sales tax, income tax and other levies, paid to the government.
• Clearing charges – our fee for filing and following the GD.
• Terminal and port charges – handling, storage and examination charges.
• Shipping line charges – delivery order and container deposit or detention.
• Transport – from the terminal to your premises.
