Call 03085157298 or read on to see how each option works.
Which Cargo Service Suits Your China Shipment?
Your choice depends on three things: how fast the goods must arrive, how heavy or bulky they are, and how much you want to spend. Here are the three main ways to send cargo from Pakistan to China.
Air Cargo from Islamabad to China
Air cargo is the faster option. It works well for urgent parcels, samples, documents and high-value items. Your goods leave from a Pakistani airport, land at a Chinese airport and clear customs before delivery. Our air cargo services in Islamabad cover pickup, packing and booking. Air is usually priced by weight, so it suits lighter shipments best.
Sea Cargo for Heavy and Bulky Goods
Sea cargo takes longer, usually weeks instead of days, but it costs far less for heavy or large loads. Smaller shipments can go as LCL, where your goods share a container with others. Larger loads go as FCL, which means a full container for one shipper. Our sea cargo LCL services are a practical choice when your timeline is flexible. Sea cargo from Pakistan normally sails from Karachi or Port Qasim to Chinese ports such as Shanghai, Shenzhen or Ningbo.
Door-to-Door Cargo to China
With door-to-door cargo services, we collect from your address in Islamabad or Rawalpindi and arrange delivery to the receiver’s address in China. You do not need to visit an airport or port yourself. This suits families, small businesses and online sellers who want one point of contact from start to finish. Delivery time depends on the address and customs clearance.
What Can You Send from Pakistan to China?
Most everyday goods can travel by cargo if they are packed well and declared correctly. People commonly send:
- Gift parcels, clothes and personal items
- Documents and business papers
- Product samples for Chinese buyers
- Commercial and bulk cargo for resale
- Household goods and personal effects
H3: Items That Need Extra Checks
Some goods are restricted or banned in China. Weapons, ammunition and explosives are prohibited. Food, liquids, batteries, medicines and printed media may face limits. Rules change, so tell us what you plan to send before you pack. Checking first helps you avoid delays, extra fees and held goods.
How Much Do Cargo Services from Pakistan to China Cost?
Price, rates and charges are the first things most people ask about, and that is fair. A fixed number would be misleading, because the final charge depends on your goods, weight and chosen service. The table below shows how each option is usually charged. For current rates, check our pricing page or ask for a written quote.
| Service | Usually Charged By | Best For | Typical Speed |
| Air cargo | Chargeable weight (kg) | Urgent, light or high-value goods | Days |
| Sea cargo (LCL) | Volume or weight | Heavy goods, flexible timing | Weeks |
| Sea cargo (FCL) | Full container | Large commercial loads | Weeks |
| Door-to-door | Weight or volume, plus pickup and delivery | Convenience and one contact point | Depends on the mode |
What Changes Your Shipping Charges
Several factors move the price up or down:
- Chargeable weight, which is the higher of actual weight and volume weight
- Air, sea or door-to-door service
- Type of goods and the packing they need
- Destination city in China
- Insurance cover, if you want it
- Customs duties and taxes in China, where they apply
How Much Does 1 kg Cost to China?
There is no single price for 1 kg. Small parcels are billed on chargeable weight, not only the reading on the scale. Air carriers often work out volume weight by multiplying length, width and height in centimetres, then dividing by 5,000. A box measuring 30 x 30 x 30 cm may weigh 1 kg on the scale but counts as 5.4 kg. Tighter, smaller boxes cost less. Send us your weight and box size for an exact quote.
How to Send a Parcel from Pakistan to China
The process is simple when you follow the right order. This is how most shipments move:
- Share the goods, weight, box size and destination city with our team.
- Receive a quote and choose air, sea or door-to-door.
- Pack the goods yourself, or let our packaging team do it.
- Hand over the parcel or book a pickup from your address.
- Share the receiver’s full address and phone number in China.

Documents to Keep Ready
Chinese customs usually want a clear description of what is inside the parcel. Keep a packing list, an invoice or value declaration, and the contact details of both sender and receiver ready. Commercial shipments may need extra export papers. Exact requirements depend on the goods, so confirm them with our team before you ship.

What is the cheapest way to send cargo to China?
Sea cargo is usually the cheapest option for heavy or bulky goods, but it takes longer. For small parcels, the biggest saving often comes from tight packing, because volume weight drives the charge. Comparing air and sea quotes for your actual shipment is the only reliable way to find the lowest cost.
Do I have to pay customs duty in China?
Often yes. Chinese customs decide duties and taxes based on the type of goods and their declared value. Who pays depends on how the shipment is arranged, so confirm this at booking. Declare the contents honestly and keep your invoice ready to avoid delays.
