How To Ship from Australia to Pakistan
The simplest way to ship to Pakistan is through your local PACK & SEND Service Centre, where our team assesses your goods, recommends the right service and prepares a personalised quote. If you're not sure how to ship to Pakistan, these are your booking paths:
Service Centre Shipping (Recommended)
The recommended courier service to Pakistan for fragile, high-value, oversized or heavy items, and for anything over 20 kg or $1,000 in value. Our team will professionally pack, document and dispatch your shipment, and pickup can be arranged from your address. Business senders and anyone who ships regularly are also managed through a Service Centre.
Book Online (Self-Service)
If your shipment is eligible, you may be able to book online. Online self-service is a limited, no-frills option for pre-packed parcels under 20 kg and up to $1,000 in value, sent by individuals who aren't shipping on behalf of a business and don't send regularly. You pack, label and schedule the shipment yourself.
PACK & SEND Live (For Regular Business Clients)
Designed for businesses exporting to Pakistan regularly or sending bulk consignments. It includes systems integration and end-to-end fulfilment support, backed by our regular senders programme.
Shipping Methods from Australia to Pakistan
Our courier services to Pakistan move by air or sea, so the method can match the urgency, size and nature of your goods. Australia to Pakistan cargo travels on established routes with trusted carrier partners, and we recommend the option that best suits your deadline.
Air Freight (Express & Standard)
Air freight is the fastest way to send cargo to Pakistan:
- International Express: Express international shipping to Pakistan is ideal for urgent or valuable shipments, with parcel delivery to Pakistan's major cities typically within 3–7 business days.
- Standard Air Freight: Suited to medium-to-large parcels, this service typically takes 7–12 business days and is a practical option when your timeline is flexible.
These timeframes are a guide only, as customs processing and other factors outside PACK & SEND's control may affect delivery schedules.
Sea Freight
Moving larger cargo from Australia to Pakistan is where sea freight comes into its own. Our managed sea cargo to Pakistan options include:
- LCL (Less than Container Load): A shared container service for small to medium consignments that don't require a full container. Shipments are consolidated with other cargo, which can add handling time at both ends.
- FCL (Full Container Load): Dedicated container shipping to Pakistan, with the whole container reserved for one sender. Ideal for businesses and households moving goods in bulk or with special handling requirements.
Sending cargo to Pakistan by sea typically takes 6–10 weeks, depending on the shipping origin, carrier schedules and port processing. LCL shipments may take slightly longer due to loading, consolidation and deconsolidation. These timeframes are a guide only.

Every quote is personalised to your item's size, weight and delivery urgency. Pricing is influenced by:

Customs Information for Sending to Pakistan
Goods sent to Pakistan pass through customs on arrival, and duties, taxes or other charges may apply depending on the type and value of what you're sending. When shipping Pakistan-bound goods, accurate details matter, and we help you prepare the documentation for a smooth clearance process.
- Customs Duties: Duty may apply to imported goods, depending on the type and value of the goods and the circumstances of the shipment.
- Import Taxes: Import taxes, customs fees and other charges may also be payable, depending on the goods.
- Regulatory Requirements: Some goods, such as used electronics, pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs, may need additional approvals or permits, and goods in used or second-hand condition can face restrictions.
- Gifts: Some gifts may qualify for duty relief, depending on the type and value of the goods and the circumstances of the shipment. Other charges, including import taxes or customs fees, may still apply.
Clearance decisions and any delays at the border are outside PACK & SEND's control, but we make sure your declaration is accurate, complete and properly supported, which reduces the likelihood of issues. Your local PACK & SEND Service Centre can talk you through the requirements and likely charges for your specific shipment before you book.
