Understanding Afghan Transit Trade
Since Afghanistan lacks a rail network, land routes are the primary method for trade, with Pakistan serving as the main transit corridor. Cargo transported via Karachi port is typically exempt from customs duties and taxes in Pakistan.

To ensure smooth processing, the following documents should be prepared and submitted at least three days prior to vessel arrival:
- Commercial Invoice
- Packing List
- Insurance Certificate
- Original Bills of Lading
- Jawaz Nama (Import License or Customs Authorization)
Additional documents may be required for special cargo such as aid shipments, UN cargo, or US military supplies. For aid-related shipments, clearance letters issued by relevant authorities must be provided.

- Kabul: 8 to 10 days
