Common Questions

PAKISTAN
FREIGHT FAQ.

What is the best way to ship from Turkey to Pakistan?

For time-sensitive cargo, air freight from Istanbul to Karachi, Lahore or Islamabad is the fastest option at around 5–6 hours flight time. For larger or cost-sensitive volumes, sea freight to Karachi and Port Qasim is the standard choice. An overland rail option via the ECO Istanbul–Tehran–Islamabad (ITI) corridor is also available for suitable cargo. We advise the best mode at quote stage.

How long does sea freight from Turkey to Pakistan take?

FCL sea freight from Istanbul or Mersin to Karachi and Port Qasim typically takes 14–18 days via the Suez Canal and the Arabian Sea. LCL groupage takes 20–26 days. Transit times are indicative and confirmed at quote stage.

Is there a rail freight option between Turkey and Pakistan?

Yes. The ECO Islamabad–Tehran–Istanbul (ITI) rail corridor links Pakistan to Turkey overland via Iran. It offers an alternative to the maritime route for suitable cargo, with transit shorter than sea freight. Service runs are periodic rather than daily, so we confirm scheduling and feasibility for your shipment before booking.

What documents are needed to export from Turkey to Pakistan?

Standard documentation includes a commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and a bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air). Pakistan Customs operates the WeBOC/PSW electronic clearance system, and certain product categories require additional certification. We advise on documentation before shipment.

Do Turkey and Pakistan have a trade agreement?

Turkey and Pakistan have a bilateral Trade in Goods Agreement that provides preferential tariff treatment for selected product lines. Coverage is limited to listed goods, so applicable duties depend on your specific HS classification. We can advise on whether your cargo qualifies before you ship.
