Clearing and forwarding agent in Pakistan from Ibrahim Logistics: A clearing and forwarding agent for imports and exports: customs clearance, freight booking and delivery in one service.
A clearing and forwarding (C&F) agent handles two jobs: clearing your cargo through customs and forwarding it onward by sea, air or road. Using one agent for both means nobody drops the shipment between the port and your warehouse.
Ibrahim Logistics works as a C&F agent for importers, exporters and traders at Karachi Port, Port Qasim, the dry ports and the airports. You get one contact for the declaration, the port formalities, the transport and the delivery.
