Afghan Transit
Shipping to Afghanistan through Karachi
Afghanistan is landlocked, so most of its sea cargo reaches the country through Pakistan. Goods arrive at Karachi, are declared to Pakistan Customs as transit cargo, and travel by road under customs control to the Afghan border.
With an office in Karachi and a network covering the Gulf, India and China, we manage the whole chain: the ocean leg, the transit paperwork, bonded road transport and coordination at the border. See also our customs clearance and freight forwarding services.
Transit rules and border operations can change at short notice, so we confirm current requirements and crossing status before you ship.
