Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a reliable customs clearing agent in Pakistan?

Look for an agent with official customs authorization, extensive experience in your cargo type (e.g. general, dangerous, or chemical), and direct offices at major ports like Karachi, Lahore, and Multan. Reputable customs brokerage firms like EM&S offer clear communication, direct WeBOC processing, and transparent pricing structures.

What documents are required for importing commercial goods into Pakistan?

The essential documents required for Pakistan customs clearance include:
• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• Bill of Lading (Sea) or Airway Bill (Air)
• Certificate of Origin
• WeBOC User ID & Active NTN
• Letter of Credit (L/C) or Bank Contract (if applicable)

What are the step-by-step procedures for import clearance in Pakistan?

First, the customs clearing agent files the Goods Declaration (GD) electronically on the WeBOC portal. Second, the system reviews and determines the clearance path (Green, Yellow, or Red Channel). Third, if required, physical inspection or document assessment is conducted. Fourth, duties and taxes are calculated and paid. Finally, the terminal release order is generated and cargo is cleared for pickup.

Can you assist with both personal and commercial customs clearance in Pakistan?

Yes. While our primary focus is on commercial import and export trade cargo, we also provide professional customs clearance services for personal effects, overseas shipments, and vehicle imports under specific government baggage rules and schemes.

How to estimate import duties and taxes for commercial goods in Pakistan?

Duties are calculated based on the cargo's HS Code (Harmonized System). The valuation is assessed by customs, and duties (Customs Duty, Regulatory Duty, Additional Customs Duty, Sales Tax, and Income Tax) are applied to the C&F value. EM&S can assist you in calculating these costs based on your invoice details.

How can I track the status of my customs clearance online?

We provide regular status updates to our clients. Additionally, commercial importers can track the real-time status of their Goods Declaration (GD) by logging into the official WeBOC portal using their credentials.
