Cargo Services Pakistan to UK from Islamabad and Rawalpindi

Sending a parcel, a few boxes, or a full household shipment from Pakistan to the UK takes planning. Air Cargo QLC handles UK shipments from Islamabad and Rawalpindi, with years of experience in international cargo. This page covers our rates per kg, delivery times, what you can send, and the documents you need, so you know the cost and the steps before you book.

How Does Cargo from Pakistan to the UK Work?

The process is simple. You tell us what you are sending, the approximate weight, and the UK delivery address. We confirm the service type and rate, arrange collection, and prepare the shipment for dispatch. You get a clear quote before anything moves.

Pickup from Islamabad and Rawalpindi

We collect your cargo from your home, office, or shop in Islamabad and Rawalpindi through our door-to-door cargo service. You do not need to travel to a booking counter. If you prefer to discuss the shipment in person, our office is on Main Old Airport Road, opposite Flying Club, Chaklala Cantt., Rawalpindi.

Choosing Between Air and Sea Cargo

Air cargo suits gifts, documents, personal items, and anything needed quickly. Our air cargo services cover UK shipments by weight. Sea cargo suits heavier, less urgent loads, such as household goods, where lower cost per kg matters more than speed. Smaller sea shipments can move as shared-container loads through LCL sea cargo.

What Are the Cargo Rates from Pakistan to the UK per KG?

Our UK rate list works on a first kg charge plus a per kg charge for each extra kg. There are two service types: duty paid, and urgent duty paid, which is the faster option. Both are shown below in PKR.

UK Rate List per KG

Weight	Duty Paid (PKR)	Urgent Duty Paid, Fastest (PKR)
First kg	5,000 to 6,000	5,000 to 6,000
Each additional kg (up to 20 kg)	1,550	1,800
21 to 30 kg (per kg)	1,500	1,750
31 to 40 kg (per kg)	1,500	1,750
41 to 50 kg (per kg)	1,500	1,730
51 to 70 kg (per kg)	1,490	1,730
71 kg and above (per kg)	1,480	1,700

Rates can change, so confirm the current figure on our pricing page or with our team before booking.

Sample Costs for Small Shipments

These examples are worked out from the list above. They show the base charge only, before any extra charges that may apply to your shipment.

Shipment Weight	Duty Paid (PKR)	Urgent Duty Paid (PKR)
5 kg	11,200 to 12,200	12,200 to 13,200
10 kg	18,950 to 19,950	21,200 to 22,200
20 kg	34,450 to 35,450	39,200 to 40,200

What Changes the Final Price

Two parcels of the same weight can cost different amounts. These are the usual reasons:

Actual weight versus volumetric weight, which depends on box size
The service you choose: duty paid or urgent duty paid
Packing size and the number of boxes
Remote UK delivery areas, which may take longer or cost extra
The type of goods, since some items need extra checks

How Long Does Cargo from Pakistan to the UK Take?

Delivery time depends mainly on whether you choose air or sea. Air is far quicker. Sea is slower but costs less per kg for heavy shipments.

Option	Approximate Delivery Time	Approximate Rate per KG	Best For
Air cargo	5 to 8 days	See rate list above	Urgent parcels, gifts, personal items
Sea cargo	30 to 45 days	PKR 600 to 1,200	Heavy, non-urgent loads

Air Cargo Pakistan to UK Delivery Time

Air shipments from Islamabad and Rawalpindi usually reach UK addresses in about 5 to 8 days. Customs checks, incomplete paperwork, and remote delivery areas such as the Scottish Highlands and islands can add time. If your parcel is urgent, ask about the urgent duty paid option when you request a quote.

Sea Cargo Pakistan to UK Delivery Time

Sea cargo generally takes 30 to 45 days. Shipments leave Pakistan by sea from the Karachi side and then clear UK customs before delivery. It works well for household goods and bulky items when you can plan ahead and keep costs down.

What Can You Send from Pakistan to the UK?

Most everyday items can go by cargo, but some goods are restricted or need extra checks. Telling us what is inside the box before packing saves delays later.

Items People Commonly Send

Clothes, shoes, and personal belongings
Household goods and shifting boxes
Gifts and festive parcels for family in the UK
Business samples and commercial goods
Documents and small parcels

Items to Check Before Packing

Food, medicines, liquids, perfumes, batteries, and branded goods can face limits or extra inspection. Rules differ by item, so ask our team first. Declaring contents honestly protects your parcel from being held at UK customs.

What Documents and Packing Do You Need for UK Cargo?

Good paperwork and strong packing prevent most delays. Prepare both before pickup.

Documents Usually Needed

A copy of the sender’s CNIC or passport
The receiver’s full UK address, postcode, and phone number
A packing list with item descriptions and values
A commercial invoice for business shipments
Any extra paperwork we ask for, depending on the goods

Packing Tips That Help

Use strong cartons, seal them well, and label each box clearly. Where possible, keep each box at or under 20 kg, since some UK delivery services have per-box limits. If you are moving a whole household, our packing and moving services can pack and prepare everything for you.

How Do You Choose the Best Cargo Service from Pakistan to the UK?

Do not choose on price alone. Ask what the quote covers, how long delivery takes, and what happens if something goes wrong. Still comparing options? Our air cargo vs sea cargo guide explains the difference in detail.

Tracking and Shipment Updates

Tracking options depend on the service and carrier used. We do not promise live tracking on every shipment. Ask our team at booking what updates you can expect for your chosen service, so you know when to contact us.

Insurance and Claims

Our UK rate terms set standard liability at 120 GBP per parcel for a lost shipment. Claims must be made in writing within seven days of the date we accept the shipment. If your goods are worth more, ask about cargo insurance before booking.

Cargo Services Pakistan to UK: Common Questions

How much is cargo from Pakistan to the UK per kg?

The first kg costs PKR 5,000 to 6,000. After that, each additional kg up to 20 kg is PKR 1,550 on the duty paid service and PKR 1,800 on urgent duty paid. Heavier weight bands have a lower per kg rate. Confirm current rates before booking.

How many days does cargo take from Pakistan to the UK?

Air cargo usually takes about 5 to 8 days. Sea cargo takes about 30 to 45 days. Customs checks, paperwork, and remote delivery areas can add time to either option.

Can I track my cargo from Pakistan to the UK?

Tracking depends on the service and carrier. We do not claim live tracking for every shipment. Ask our team at booking which updates apply to your parcel and how to reach us if you need a status check.

What is the difference between duty paid and urgent duty paid?

Both are duty paid services. Urgent duty paid is the faster option and has a higher rate per additional kg. Choose it when the parcel is time-sensitive, and ask for a quote on both so you can compare.

Can I send commercial goods or only personal items?

You can send both. Personal items need basic documents, while commercial goods usually need an invoice and a packing list. Tell us what you are shipping and we will confirm what paperwork is required.
