Importer of Record and Pre-Shipment Documentation
Importer of Record
While in certain countries, FGX enables our clients to act as the Importer of Record themselves, they are rarely able to act as their own Importer of Record in Pakistan. Pakistan is not a location where companies typically have a business entity authorized to import, which means that they will need to find an IOR provider to act as their Importer of Record.
NOC Certificate
The NOC (No Objection Certificate) is issued by the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority to ensure that your equipment has met all safety and regulatory requirements. The PTA will likely require equipment data sheets and product certificates in addition to standard shipping documents. FGX can help you determine if your equipment will need any additional process and facilitate the approval process.
IT Shipping & Logistics
Securing wide-bodied air freight to Pakistan is not difficult but once it is secured you will need three to four business days for completion. However, once your shipment arrives in Pakistan, customs clearance can take as many as 10 days, which can slightly delay a timeline if you do not plan ahead.
FGX manages all of our client’s shipments door-to-door (or door-to-datacenter). This case study showcases how we navigated IT logistics and importation into Pakistan at the time that it was written. Regulations and challenges are constantly changing and exact shipping requirements may have changed.
