Lahore · ASC office
Punjab's commercial capital imports machinery, raw materials, pharmaceuticals and consumer goods at national scale, and exports textiles, food and engineering products back out. ASC serves Lahore through its branch office, the city's dry-port and airport gateways, and a daily Karachi-to-Lahore corridor.
Lahore consignments clear either at Karachi's seaports with bonded or cleared onward carriage, or up-country at Lahore's dry-port facilities and the Allama Iqbal International air-cargo complex. Which is faster and cheaper depends on the cargo, the line's inland tariff and your delivery deadline, we advise per shipment rather than defaulting to one route.
Our Lahore branch handles local documentation, dry-port and airport clearance and delivery coordination, while the Karachi head office runs the seaport leg, one file, one accountable team across both cities.
For Lahore's manufacturers we clear industrial machinery, raw materials and chemicals with concession review; for its pharmaceutical companies, DRAP-regulated cargo through our specialist desk; for its trading houses, consumer goods, auto parts and electronics with valuation-ruling alignment. Export clearance supports the city's textile, food and engineering shipments with certificates of origin and scheme documentation.
Road freight ties it together: daily capacity on the Karachi-Lahore corridor, reefer equipment for pharma and food, and delivery across the city's industrial estates, Sundar, Quaid-e-Azam Industrial Estate, Kot Lakhpat and beyond.

FAQ
Yes, ASC operates a Lahore branch office serving Punjab's importers and exporters, working with the Karachi head office as one team on each file.
It depends on the cargo, the shipping line's inland haulage terms and your timeline. We cost both routes and recommend per shipment, and we operate both, so the advice is not biased by capability.
Yes, we handle air-cargo clearance at Allama Iqbal International, including time-critical pharmaceutical and machinery-parts consignments for Lahore industry.
Road transit on the corridor typically runs about two days door-to-door once cleared, with express options when a production line is waiting. We coordinate clearance and transport so the two never wait on each other.
Nationwide
Karachi is where Pakistan's trade touches the sea, and where ASC has cleared cargo since 1988. Our head office sits minutes from the port on Sharah-e-Liaquat, with clearance teams working every container terminal and the airport's air-freight units daily.
The capital region's imports skew technical: telecom and IT equipment, medical devices for its hospitals, project cargo for public-sector programmes, and consumer goods for a fast-growing retail market. ASC's Islamabad branch serves the twin cities with the specialist approvals this cargo profile demands.
Faisalabad is Pakistan's textile engine, spinning, weaving, processing and home-textile production at export scale, and its supply chain is import-intensive: machinery, dyes, chemicals and fibres inward, finished textiles outward. ASC runs that two-way flow for Faisalabad's mills daily.
Sialkot is Pakistan's export craftsman, surgical instruments, sports goods and leather products sold to the world from one industrial cluster with its own dry port and international airport. ASC supports that machine with import clearance for its materials and machinery, and export clearance to every market it sells.
