About Pakistan

About Pakistan

Pakistan is a large country, officially named the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, in South Asia, with a huge population of over 180 million people. Its tourism industry hit its peak in the 1970s, but has been described recently as being up and coming once again, attracting up to around 1 million tourists per year.

The climate in Pakistan can be hugely varied depending on season, altitude and location. One of the highest temperatures in the world has been recorded there, yet the mountains in the north are usually covered in snow. Temperatures soar during the summer, with average temperatures of around 38°C (100°F) and hot winds inland. Winters are generally cold with average temperatures sitting around 4°C (39°F) in Punjab and below freezing further north. The currency used in Pakistan is the Pakistani Rupee, and the official languages of the country are Urdu and English.

Pakistan is a hugely diverse country that draws tourists to attractions of all kinds, from the ruins of ancient civilisations such as Mohenjo-daro and Taxila, to the Himalayan Mountains in the north where winter sports prevail, and the beaches of the Arabian Sea where you can practise scuba diving.

Other Ways of Shipping to Pakistan

Other Ways of Shipping to Pakistan

As well as sending parcels, baggage and luggage to Pakistan you could look into the following alternatives for shipping items internationally, especially if you need to send large, bulky items like furniture.

Air Freight to Pakistan

You could consider using air freight to send items to Pakistan. This service usually takes one to two days. You need to consider the size of your shipment to determine what you would have to pay, and you need to factor in the cost of paying for a customs agent to handle customs clearance for you. In addition, you need to transport your items to and from the airport somehow. Costs could, therefore, quickly mount up. If you send internationally by air freight to Pakistan your items will likely arrive at one of the major airports, such as Jinnah, Gwadar or Quetta International Airports.

Sea Freight and Container Shipping to Pakistan

You could go for sea freight or container shipping to transport your possessions to Pakistan, instead. This is a good option for very large items, such as a snooker table or even a car. This service is much slower and can be less expensive than air freight, but you will still need to use the services of a customs agent and will need to sort out how to get your items to and from the ports ? so the cost could be more than expected. When using container shipping to Pakistan your items will most likely arrive by ship at one of the major sea ports, such as Karachi or Port Qasim.

Shipping Goods to Pakistan

You should be aware of the current customs rules in Pakistan when shipping goods there. Find out what duty you need to pay and what items are allowed to be shipped to Pakistan, which items are restricted, and which are completely prohibited.  Take a look at the prohibited items and customs sections on this page for more information.
