Before you ship to Pakistan
- Tax-free limit
- Post and courier imports worth PKR 1,000 (about $3.60) or less pay no duties or taxes. Unsolicited gift parcels worth up to PKR 30,000 (about $108) per parcel pay no customs duty under tariff heading 9909, but sales tax may still be charged. Other boxes, including your own used belongings, are normally taxed.
- Receiver ID
- CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) needed. Couriers ask for the receiver's CNIC number to clear a box with Pakistan Customs, and customs rules require it for courier e-commerce parcels. Overseas Pakistanis may be able to use a NICOP, and foreign nationals their passport, so tell the courier before you ship if the receiver has no CNIC.
- Transit
- 2-4 business days from the Gulf; 3-6 from the UK and Europe; 4-8 from North America and Australia
