Yes i have mentioned it above.

What's ICG bro??? And when I called Pak Post they issued a complaint to the customs and told me they would only give information to Pak Post and not to me even if I visit them... So these questions I'd like to ask you again:

Can you please tell me how much longer will I have to wait and approx what the customs will be, if the items are marked as Gift and decaled value is $50 of each package.

AND

Other then contacting Pak Post again, is there some department in customs which I can contact myself and get an update???

Thanks

Your information seems incomplete. Also such things cannot be determined with the half information you are providing. where is the international server code which will determine where the postal is at it's last location. These system do not get updated before 2 months , so useless counting on them. A LF something number should be alotted when a postal heads to the destination country
@ Other members, i will reply to other queries the moment i get free.

The only thing Pak Post provided me is this when I contacted them through email:

""""""""""

item no. RR141602630EE assigned local no. L596/10/14
item no. RR141603175EE assigned local no.L587/10/14
both items send to customs for examination. as and when clear/release will be dispatched to delivery office. rgds

""""""""

Is this what is required to get an update from them??? Can I go to the GPO Lahore and demand an explanation/update based on these L numbers???

 

[Jshak]

Yes this is the one. L596/10/14. Go to the post office and get a LF number

Thanks for the reply, what exactly is this LF number bro and how will it help me get details of the location of my package if it's stuck with customs???

And do I need to go to the central GPO or can I get this information from any BIG post office???

 

[Jshak]

Yes you need to
LF means Lahore Foreign

[MENTION=2126]Jshak[/MENTION] will customs charge duty on a wrist watch if I order online (from an ebay seller based in Philippines or Hong Kong) and have it shipped to Karachi? Watch will not be new and isn't expensive (under $100) so I am reluctant to pay for courier.

Pet import from Poland

Can anyone tell me how much does it cost to import a pair of Himalayan Cats from Poland? The price of both cats is 2400euros and the dealer is asking 3500euros only for the shipment which I think is too much. I would rather get a ticket to Poland and pick up the cats and bring them with me in a hand bag (its allowed and legal).

Can anyone help me in importing the cats or give me an idea of shipping. I think the dealer is lying and trying to snatch some extra cash from me. I remember a friend of my uncle bought a puppy for 80,000pkr and paid 50,000pkr for shipping from Thiland.

Dealer's Website: http://www.evicathimalayan.eu/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ewa.kilar.7

P.S: Yes there are tons of dealers but the quality of these cats is no match with them.

International Shipping from www.42photo.com

I want to buy a camera which is around 100usd cheaper (compared to amazon) on this site and they offer international shipping as well (which costs 50usd). Any idea about the site, should I go with it?


EDIT: forgot to ask the important question, what about custom clearance here in Pakistan?

Need Help regrading importing !

@LoydGanks and @Jshak, Need help regrading importing mobile phones, I order two phone via my friend in US, But need suggestion with shipping, Which shipping company, I should use UPS, Fedex, DHL etc... And How to avoid NOC problem can, I label them as Digital products, And how much value, I should add ?


Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.

 

[KDKHAN]

Jshak will guide you better but keep in mind that beside shipping and custom issues, now there is a new issues of NOC from PTA. Mobile phones are not released by the Custom Deptt unless you get issued an NOC from PTA which is equally complicated process so beware of it.

 

[LoydGanks]

I have to get NoC on mobile imports. I dont know how to avoid it.

After shipping, Where in Karachi, I have to go and get them cleared ordering first time so, I am clueless ? Please suggest best shipping company too. Thanks

 

[AbdullahShafiq]

Do our customs open packages and check things in side, I was think of sending Mobile's with my Laptop in Laptop box ?

 

[bobama]

There is a good chance your package will be opened. Don't misdeclare anything. The hassle is not worth it.
