HS Code Classification for Pakistan Customs

We review the product description, the technical specification and the invoice, and suggest the likely classification and duty before you place the order. The final classification is decided by customs at assessment.

What our hs code classification service covers

• Classification review from the specification
• Duty and tax estimate
• Permit and standard checks
• Valuation support
• Preferential duty check for trade agreements
• Consistency across GDs

HS code classification in Pakistan – how it works

1. Send the product name, specification and invoice value
2. We suggest the HS code and duty estimate
3. We check permits and standards
4. You decide on the order
5. We file the GD with the agreed code
6. We follow assessment

Documents you will need

• Product specification or catalogue
• Supplier invoice or quotation
• Photographs where useful
• Previous GD for similar goods
• Technical data sheets

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 hs code classification

• 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.
• Permits and tests – only for regulated goods.

Every quotation from us lists these items separately, so you can compare like with like.
