Air, sea or road —
and which one we would book.
Every shipment has a budget and a deadline, and the two rarely agree. We price the honest options — air when the date is fixed, sea when it is not — and tell you which one we would book.
01 / AIRAir freight
Import and export both. Booked on chargeable weight, not guesswork — we check gross against volumetric before you commit, and hold space with the carrier rather than tendering on the day.

02 / SEASea freight
FCL, LCL and NVOCC through Karachi Port and Port Qasim, booked to a named sailing with the documentation cut-off dates in writing.
Discover sea freight
03 / LANDLand freight
Between Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Faisalabad, Sialkot and Multan, plus cross-border. Collection and delivery windows agreed before the vehicle moves.

Recognised by the world's
leading carriers
