Textile and garment export freight from Pakistan from Ibrahim Logistics: Freight, consolidation and clearance for garments, denim, towels and home textiles to the USA, UK and Europe.
Textiles are Pakistan's largest export sector. Garments, denim, towels, bed linen and fabric go to the USA, the UK and the EU, mostly in 40ft high-cube containers on tight buyer schedules.
Delivery dates and compliance matter: late gate-in means a missed vessel and chargebacks from the buyer. We plan from the factory cut-off backwards, handle consolidation from several factories where the buyer needs it, and manage the clearance and certificates.

- 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.
