One of the most complex parts of international trade is navigating customs clearance. Whether importing into Pakistan or exporting to the UAE, regulatory compliance, document accuracy, and port procedures can create unexpected delays and costs.

According to the World Bank Logistics Performance Index, customs clearance remains one of the weakest links for South Asian exporters. The average clearance time at ports can range from 2–7 days without proper support.
