DO I NEED TO DEAL WITH PAKISTANI CUSTOMS?
Yes. You’ll require a customs declaration for every parcel you send outside of the UK. Don’t worry though – we’ll automatically generate this document based on the information you provide during booking.
It tells Pakistan Customs about the contents of your package so they can process it efficiently.
CUSTOMS DUTIES AND TAXES
Parcels sent to Pakistan from the UK are subject to import duties, sales tax and other fees. These charges are applied by Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and are based on the declared value of your goods. They are not included in the postage price you pay to DHL eCommerce UK.
- Payment: The recipient in Pakistan will be contacted by a local partner courier to pay any applicable duties, taxes, and handling fees before the parcel can be delivered.
- Gifts: While there is a small duty-free allowance for gifts, customs officials often apply duties and taxes to all gifts, regardless of value, to prevent commercial goods from being sent as personal items.
- Commercial Goods: All commercial goods will be subject to duties, sales tax, and other fees as determined by customs.
CRUCIAL REQUIREMENT: KYC DOCUMENTATION:
For all shipments to Pakistan, the recipient must provide:
- Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation
- A copy of their National Identity Card (NIC)
- Proof of address
Parcels without this documentation or where the recipient is not responsive to customs requests will face significant delays, may be subject to fines, or will be returned to you, the sender.
But don’t worry - your recipient will be contacted directly if these are needed.
Find out more by visiting Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) website .
WHAT ITEMS CAN'T I SEND TO PAKISTAN?
Pakistan has its own set of strict import restrictions and prohibitions. It is crucial to be aware of these regulations, as failure to comply can lead to significant delays, fines, or even the seizure and destruction of your parcel.
You can find more information on Pakistani Customs and import regulations on the Pakistan Customs website.
Some examples of items you can’t post to Pakistan include:
RESTRICTED AND PROHIBITED GOODS
|
Food |
Illegal and dangerous |
Other |
|
Fruit, vegetables and nuts |
Flammable materials |
Animal fur |
|
Meat, pork and chicken |
Hazardous chemicals |
Antiques |
| Herbs | Weapons | Tobacco products |
| Alcohol | Narcotics | Jewellery |
*Please be aware that we also have our own prohibited items list, in addition to country-specific restrictions. This list is not exhaustive. Regulations can change frequently. For the most up-to-date information on a specific item, it is essential to consult the official Pakistan Customs website or the Federal Board of Revenue.
Pakistan is just under 4,000 miles away from the UK – 3,837 to be exact. This means your parcel has a long journey ahead of it, going through several depots and automated sorting machines. We recommend making sure you package your parcel safely and securely to protect your contents.
We’ve included a few tips to get you started:
- Invest in a Strong Box: Always use a new, robust, double-walled cardboard box. Reused or compromised boxes significantly increase the risk of damage.
- Prevent Movement: Fill all empty spaces inside the box with packing peanuts, shredded cardboard, or other void fillers to provide crucial stability and prevent shifting during transit.
- Seal for the Journey: Use durable, pressure-sensitive packing tape (at least 48mm wide) to seal all openings and seams securely. The ‘H-tape’ method offers superior security.
- Individual Protection: Give each item its own layer of defence. Wrap everything separately with generous cushioning like bubble wrap or foam to absorb shocks.
