Required Documents For Moving a Vehicle To Pakistan

• Passport (copy acceptable)
• Ocean bill of lading (OBL)
• Vehicle title.
• Purchase invoice.
• De-registration Certificate.

New vehicles face a 50% duty if they’re over 8,000 CC, plus additional excise taxes. The maximum value that may be assessed for taxes and duties is 90% of the car value, which makes it a costly endeavor to import a vehicle to Pakistan if you don’t qualify for special regime designation (see below). Cars that are brought into Pakistan from another country must be no more than 3 years old.

Special regime auto shipments to Pakistan qualify for lesser taxation, though they still must pay an import duty.

Vehicles qualifying for special regime import must also be under 3 years old and limited to specific circumstances: change of residency, personal possession, or a *gift. The special regime designation may only be used to move a car to Pakistan once every two years, per person. The duty on cars brought in under the notable regime exception is based on the engine displacement and assessed on a sliding scale.

*The vehicle must come from an immediate family to qualify as a gift under special regime rules.

Information Regarding Each Overseas Transport Method

All in all, we offer our customers four overseas transport methods: shipping heavy equipment and oversized cargo. Depending on the type of cargo you must deliver to Pakistan, your preference, and your budget, we will determine which services you can take advantage of. Here is a list of our transport services...

• Flat Rack Shifting
• Container Shipping
• Roll On/Roll Off Shipping, a.k.a. RoRo Shipping
• Lift On/Lift Off Shipping a.k.a. LoLo Shipping

If you're looking for an open-air method of transporting your goods, consider flat rack hauling. Your cargo will be safely fastened to a massive metal frame before being loaded onto the ship. Inoperable vehicles, stationary construction equipment, and crated freight are prime candidates for LoLo transportation. RoRo shipping is the most cost-effective open-air option, although it includes driving your vehicle or equipment aboard and off the boat. Shipping via covered container, which offers the highest level of protection from the weather, is more expensive. Free insurance is included with every one of these offerings.
