Custom Clearing Agent at Karachi Port & Port Qasim.
Cleared First Time.
Licensed in-house clearing agents at every Karachi gateway — KICT, QICT, PICT, SAPT, KPT and Port Qasim. We file on WeBOC/PSW before your vessel berths, so your container leaves inside the free days.
Almost every Pakistani import clears here
Whether your goods are destined for Lahore, Faisalabad or Islamabad, they almost certainly arrive at Karachi Port or Port Qasim first — and what happens in those few days decides whether your shipment is profitable or eaten alive by demurrage.
Capstone is a Pakistan Customs licensed clearing agent (Rule 355) and a full PIFFA member. Our own staff file the Goods Declaration — we do not hand your consignment to a sub-agent — which is why we clear on first submission instead of arguing with an assessing officer for a week.
Every Karachi Terminal, One Agent
From Vessel Berthing to Your Gate.
Every step of the clearance is handled in-house by licensed staff — the documentation, the filing, the assessment, the duty payment and the delivery.
Pre-Arrival Document Audit
We check the invoice, packing list, B/L, HS code and permits before the vessel berths — the single biggest cause of delay is a GD that should never have been filed.
WeBOC / PSW GD Filing
Goods Declaration filed in-house on WeBOC and Pakistan Single Window, with the correct HS classification and any CPFTA or SRO concession claimed.
Delivery Order & Duty Payment
DO released from the shipping line against the B/L, and duty and taxes settled so the container can gate out without waiting.
Examination & Delivery
If customs marks the GD for examination we attend it, then arrange haulage to your address or in-bond movement to an inland dry port.
Demurrage is a choice, not a fee
Demurrage is charged by the terminal for a container sitting in the yard past its free days. Detention is charged by the shipping line for holding their container after it leaves the port. Both are billed per day, per container, and both compound quietly while a Goods Declaration sits rejected.
We file before the vessel berths and track the free-day clock on both sides. That is the whole trick — there is no clever appeal after the days have run out.
What You Actually Pay — Itemised
We will not quote you a headline figure and add to it later. Clearing charges depend on your HS code, assessed value and terminal tariff — so here is every component, and we give you the full breakdown before you commit.
Customs duty & taxes
Customs duty, additional customs duty, regulatory duty, sales tax and income tax — computed on the assessed (duty-paid) value against your HS code.
Terminal & port charges
Terminal handling, wharfage and gate charges, billed by the terminal operator (KICT, QICT, SAPT, PICT) at their published tariff.
Delivery order (DO) charges
Payable to the shipping line to release the container against the Bill of Lading.
Examination & handling
Charged if customs marks your GD for physical examination — de-stuffing, labour and re-stuffing.
Demurrage & detention
Only if you exceed the free days. Our job is to make sure you never pay this — see below.
Transport
Container haulage from the terminal to your address, or in-bond movement to an inland dry port.
