Freight to Peshawar from Canada
Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, sits in northwestern Pakistan near the Khyber Pass, about 1,109 km from Karachi. Ocean freight with A1 stops at the Karachi CFS, where the carrier also handles customs clearance. From there the cargo must travel the length of the country by truck or rail, a leg the consignee books and pays for. Transit to Karachi is about 52 days from Vancouver, the cheapest gateway, and 62 from Toronto or Montreal, at USD 2 per cubic foot with a USD 335.64 minimum.
Families in Canada shipping clothing, household items and gifts to relatives make up much of this traffic. Payment must be prepaid. Have the consignee's tax number (NTN or FTN), CNIC or passport number ready, since it goes on the bill of lading along with HS codes and weights. A commercial invoice and packing list are required; for personal effects the packing list must be signed and a passport copy added. Keep the total value at or under CAD 2,000, and remember that A1 does not pick up: bring the palletized, heat-treated unit to the warehouse yourself.
How a shipment to Peshawar works
Peshawar is not a destination in the carrier's tariff. The closest priced destination is Karachi about 1,109 km (straight line) from Peshawar: the A1 price covers ocean freight from Canada to the destination warehouse (CFS) at Karachi. From there the consignee collects the cargo or books the last leg to Peshawar with a local trucking company; that delivery, destination customs clearance, duties and taxes are not in the A1 price.
