International Removals to Pakistan
Whether you are moving back to Pakistan to be closer to family, relocating for work, or making a longer-term move from the UK, Anglo Pacific manages your full removal from start to finish. We handle professional packing at your UK home, sea freight to Karachi, Pakistan Customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery to your address in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, or any other part of the country.
We have been moving people between the UK and Pakistan for over 40 years and are members of the British Association of Removers (BAR) and FIDI FAIM accredited. Whether you are shipping a selection of furniture or the entire contents of a family home, we adapt the service to your volume and budget.
Shipping Options for Your Move to Pakistan
We offer Groupage, FCL, and air freight for UK to Pakistan removals. Sea freight is the standard method for household goods and furniture. The right choice depends on your volume and how soon you need your belongings.
Groupage
Groupage consolidates your belongings with other customers moving to the same Pakistani port. You pay only for the space your consignment occupies, making it the most cost-effective option for smaller moves, furniture shipments, and partial household relocations. Your goods are packed, inventoried, and consolidated at our UK warehouse before the container is sealed and shipped to Karachi.
FCL (Full Container Load)
An FCL gives you sole use of a 20ft or 40ft container. It departs as soon as loading is complete without waiting for consolidation, and transit times are approximately 2 weeks shorter than Groupage. FCL suits larger household moves and customers who need a confirmed departure date.
Air Freight
Air freight to Pakistan takes up to 10 days and is available for priority items or smaller consignments where speed is important. Due to the higher cost per kilogram, air freight is best reserved for essential or high-value items needed at your destination before the main sea freight shipment arrives.
Pakistan Customs Clearance for UK Removals
All household goods and personal effects entering Pakistan must be declared to and cleared by the Pakistan Customs (Federal Board of Revenue). People relocating to Pakistan from abroad may be eligible to import used household goods under a baggage concession or Transfer of Residence allowance, subject to Pakistan Customs conditions. Eligibility and applicable relief depend on the duration of your stay abroad and your residency status. New items purchased specifically for the move are generally not covered and may attract import duty.
Anglo Pacific prepares your Pakistan Customs documentation as part of the removal service and advises on what to declare before packing begins. Accurate documentation reduces the risk of delays at Karachi Port, where customs clearance can be detailed and thorough.
Anglo Pacific provides an end-to-end removal service. This means we handle every stage of your move, from packing at your UK home through to final delivery and unpacking at your Pakistan address.

Anglo Pacific handles removals from Pakistan to the UK as well as the outbound journey. Whether you are moving family members to the UK, returning after a period abroad, or relocating for any reason, we manage collection from your Pakistani address, sea freight, UK customs clearance, and delivery to your UK home.
Transfer of Residence Relief for UK Returns
If you are returning to the UK after living abroad for at least 12 consecutive months, you may be entitled to Transfer of Residence (ToR) Relief from HMRC, allowing you to import personal belongings to the UK free of customs duty and VAT, subject to eligibility. We advise on the documentation required as part of your removal booking.
Over 40 Years of Experience on the UK to Pakistan Route
Anglo Pacific has been helping people move between the UK and Pakistan for over four decades. Many of the families we move on this route are returning home, rejoining family, or making a personal decision to settle in Pakistan after years in the UK. Our team understands the practical and emotional significance of this kind of move and brings the same care to every removal, whether it is a single container of furniture or a full household.
BAR and FIDI FAIM Accredited
We hold BAR membership and FIDI FAIM accreditation, the international quality standard for the global moving industry. As a BAR member, your advance payments are protected by the BAR Advanced Payment Guarantee.

We collect from homes across the whole of the UK, including London, Birmingham, Bradford, Manchester, Leeds, Glasgow, and all surrounding areas. Pre-move surveys are carried out in person or by video call, and collection is arranged to fit your timeline.

Our Groupage service is well suited to furniture-only shipments and smaller moves. You pay only for the space your goods occupy, making it cost-proportionate for any volume.
Personal Effects and Excess Baggage
For smaller volumes of personal effects, our baggage shipping service may be more cost-effective than Groupage. Contact our team to compare options for your specific volume.

Sea freight transit times from the UK to Pakistan are confirmed at your pre-move survey. FCL transit times are approximately 2 weeks shorter than Groupage for the same destination. Air freight to Pakistan takes up to 10 days. Lahore, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi are inland cities served by road haulage from Karachi, which adds a further 7 to 21 days.

The cost depends on the volume of your belongings, whether you choose Groupage or FCL, your collection address in the UK, and your delivery city in Pakistan.

Inland cities including Lahore and Islamabad involve additional road haulage from Karachi Port, which is factored into your quote.

Returning to Pakistan after a long time in the UK is a move our team has helped many families make. The key things to plan are: your customs eligibility (Pakistan Customs has a Transfer of Residence allowance for returning residents, subject to conditions), your volume (a pre-move survey will give you an accurate picture), your routing (Karachi is the primary port and most inland cities are served by road from there), and your timeline (sea freight takes several weeks, so booking well in advance gives you more options on departure dates). Our team will walk you through each stage from the pre-move survey onwards.
