  Afghanistan Cargo and Relief Goods

Given the ongoing political and economic situation in Afghanistan, relief cargo, charitable donations, and rebuilding materials are being consigned to Afghanistan in heavy volumes.


Since Pakistan is one of the countries used to transship cargo to Afghanistan, we have detailed information and experience on the different transport possibilities.

We can arrange transport to most cities including Kabul, Kandahar, Mazar-i-Sharif, Herat, Jalalabad and also Bagram. Besides inland transport, we can arrange a complete freight solution from any point of origin through our worldwide network.

The route for the transport of cargo is usually Karachi- Peshawar Dry Port or Karachi-Quetta Dry port.

We are also able to arrange transshipment of air cargo from Pakistani airports into Afghanistan by road (non-commercial).

Given that Afghanistan is rebuilding, the trade and logistics possibilities are expected to expand over the next few years. If you are participating in this area, please remember that many dangers still exist. There is no infrastructure or proper legal cover. We are an experienced player in this field and we can arrange all logistics safely and economically.

Most cargo is being taken in shipper owned containers or is being destuffed from Line containers and transported on high wall trucks, but containers are also regularly moving in/out of Afghanistan. There are now some insurance possiblities depending on the circumstances.

There are two categories of cargo for Afghanistan. One is Commercial Cargo, which is moved to its destination under the Afghan Transit Trade Agreement. Currently the Pakistan government has restricted certain items from this agreement due to the high incidence of smuggling back into Pakistan. A list of such items can be provided.

The second category is Recontruction or Governmental Assistance cargo. This includes Relief Cargo, Reconstruction Materials,and Diplomatic Cargo. All the cargo from NGO's, government assistance, donations and aid come through this category. The formalities for each have to be followed carefully to ensure smooth processing and minimum extra expences.

We welcome inquires from governmental organizations, companies, NGO's, individuals or freight forwarders for any segment of the solution. Reliability, quick response and regular status updates will be available for your goods.
