Everything on the Pakistan side, from one desk
You keep the customer relationship and the overseas legs. We handle Pakistan end to end and report back to you, not around you.
Customs clearance in-house
Filed under our own Rule 355 licence — not sub-contracted to a third agent you have no visibility of. Import and export GDs on WeBOC and PSW.
Owned haulage fleet
Our own trucks across Karachi. When you commit a cut-off to your customer, it rests on equipment we control rather than a broker’s availability.
Port & terminal handling
KICT, SAPT, QICT and PICT. Gate-in supervision, Delivery Orders, terminal charges and empty returns.
Consolidation & CFS
Export consolidation and import de-consolidation at our Karachi warehouse for LCL and multi-supplier cargo.
Proactive reporting
Loading, departure, vessel and customs milestones pushed to you automatically — so your customer hears it from you first.
Clean local invoicing
One itemised invoice for the Pakistan leg. No surprise line items appearing after the container has moved.
What overseas forwarders actually judge an agent on
After twenty years of nomination work we know the questions you are really asking before you hand over a file.
Licensed, not brokered
PIFFA member and a customs agent licensed under Pakistan Customs Rule 355. Both capabilities sit inside one company, so nothing is quietly passed on.
You are told before you ask
The complaint we hear most about previous agents is silence. Milestones reach you without a chase email, including the bad news.
Time-zone realistic
Pakistan is GMT+5. We answer within your working day for the UK, Europe and the US East Coast, not twelve hours later.
No customer poaching
Your client is your client. We work on the Pakistan leg you nominate us for and do not approach your customers directly.
Independent, so flexible
We are not a network branch obliged to route through a head office. If your file needs an exception, a decision gets made here.
Credit terms for regular partners
Once a working relationship is established we can discuss terms rather than requiring payment before every release.
How a first nomination works
Most partners send one trial file before committing to a lane. That is sensible, and we would rather you did.
| Step | What happens | What we need from you |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Introduction | We confirm capability for your commodity, ports and volumes | Your company details and the lane you are considering |
| 2 · Rate & scope | We quote the Pakistan leg with the scope written out line by line | Commodity, container type or volume, incoterm, ports |
| 3 · Nomination | You nominate us on the shipment and send the pre-alert | Pre-alert, B/L instructions and shipper or consignee contact |
| 4 · Execution | Clearance, haulage, port handling and documentation run from our office | Nothing further unless a decision is needed |
| 5 · Reporting | Milestones pushed to you as they happen, with documents attached | A distribution list for updates |
| 6 · Invoice | One itemised invoice for the Pakistan leg | Your billing contact and reference format |
