What we do

What happens to your consignment.

Most of our clients send the documents over and hear from us again when the truck is at their gate. This is what happens in between.

01

Documents and the delivery order

We go through the invoice, packing list and bill of lading, and take the delivery order from the shipping line.

02

Filing the Goods Declaration

We work out the HS classification and the valuation and file the declaration on the Pakistan Single Window.

03

Assessment and examination

Customs routes the consignment down the green, yellow or red channel. If it is examined, we are at the terminal for it.

04

Duty and taxes

We work out what is payable, prepare the challans and put the payment through. Receipts come back with the file.

05

Release and delivery

We settle the port and terminal charges, take the container out through the gate and send it on to your address.

06

Shipping with us regularly

Your products, HS codes and paperwork stay on file, so each consignment moves faster than the one before it.

What our clients import

Goods we have handled.

Every company on our register, grouped by what they bring in. Solar equipment, heavy machinery, dyes and textiles are where most of our work is, although there is very little that has not come through this office at one time or another.

The register

More than 200 companies.

The list goes back to 1987 and we have kept all of it on the record, from single consignments to accounts we ran every month for years.
