How it works

How Our Freight Forwarding Process Works

  1. Step 01

    Share your shipment details

    Tell us what you are shipping, where it starts and ends, the approximate weight or volume, any special handling and when it needs to arrive. A phone call, WhatsApp message or the quote form all work.

  2. Step 02

    Review and quotation

    We check the cargo and route, then send an itemised quotation showing freight, origin and destination charges and inland transport, so you can compare it with other offers.

  3. Step 03

    Transport planning and booking

    When you confirm, we choose the mode and carrier, book space and agree the dates, cut-offs and handover points with every party involved.

  4. Step 04

    Documentation

    We prepare or check the commercial invoice, packing list and the bill of lading or airway bill, and tell you about any permits the cargo needs before it ships.

  5. Step 05

    Cargo movement

    The cargo is collected, loaded and moved through the port or airport. We follow it through each handover and tell you about changes in schedule or routing.

  6. Step 06

    Delivery

    We coordinate final delivery with the consignee, confirm receipt and keep the paperwork for your records, so the shipment is closed properly.

Common questions

Freight Forwarding in Pakistan: Frequently Asked Questions

What does a freight forwarding agent in Pakistan do?

A freight forwarding agent arranges the movement of cargo between origin and destination on behalf of importers and exporters. That can include booking space with shipping lines and airlines, preparing shipping documents, coordinating port handling and arranging inland delivery.

How do I compare the top freight forwarders in Karachi?

Ask each forwarder for an itemised quotation for the same shipment, then compare named contacts, documentation support, how port free time is managed and whether door-to-door delivery is included. Our freight forwarding page sets out these checks in more detail.

Which freight services does ASC Freight offer?

ASC Freight offers freight forwarding, sea freight, air freight, road freight, logistics and warehousing, and customs clearance support for the shipments it forwards.

Can you handle both imports and exports?

Yes. We coordinate import and export shipments. The exact documentation and routing depend on the cargo, the destination and the carrier, so we confirm these when we review your shipment.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL sea freight?

FCL (full container load) means your cargo fills a container that is booked for you alone. LCL (less than container load) means your cargo shares container space with other shippers' cargo and is consolidated and deconsolidated at the ports.

When should I choose air freight instead of sea freight?

Air freight suits time-sensitive, high-value or lighter shipments. Sea freight is usually the more economical option for heavy or bulky cargo where transit time is less critical.

How much does freight forwarding cost?

Costs depend on the route, cargo type, weight or volume, mode of transport, documentation and any inland delivery. We provide a shipment-specific quotation rather than a standard price.

What information do you need for a freight quote?

Your cargo description, origin and destination, approximate weight or volume, preferred transport mode and any special requirements such as delivery deadlines or handling needs.

Which documents are needed to ship cargo?

Usually a commercial invoice and a packing list, plus a bill of lading for sea freight or an airway bill for air freight. Some goods also need permits or certificates. We tell you what applies to your cargo when we review it.

Do you handle customs clearance?

We coordinate customs clearance for the shipments we forward, working with the licensed brokers of our parent company, Arshad Sualeh Corporation. Customs brokerage itself is a separate service of the parent company.

Where are you based?

We are based at Room No. 2/26–2/27, Al-Abid Chamber, Sharah-e-Liaquat, Karachi, Pakistan. Call +92 21 32620790 or message us on WhatsApp.
