Shipping Cost from Pakistan to the UK  Simple Guide (2025)

Sending cargo from Pakistan to the UK? Whether you’re sending gifts, clothes, electronics, or household items, it’s important to know how much it will cost — and which option is best for you.

In this guide, we’ll explain everything in simple words: the cost, how it works, and which method is right for you — air cargo or sea cargo.

How Much Does Shipping Cost from Pakistan to the UK?

Shipping costs can be different for each package. The price depends on a few important things. Let’s look at what affects the cost:

 1. Weight and Size

The heavier or bigger your parcel is, the more it will cost. Sometimes, if a box is very big but light, companies use a special calculation called volumetric weight to decide the price.

 2. Shipping Method: Air or Sea

• Air shipping is faster (about 5 to 8 days) but costs more.

• Sea shipping takes longer (around 30 to 45 days) but is cheaper, especially for big or heavy packages.
  You can pick what works best for your budget and how quickly you need your parcel to arrive.

3. Where It’s Going in the UK

Prices can change depending on the delivery location. For example, sending to London might cost a little different than sending to other cities. Also, door-to-door delivery costs more than picking up from the airport or port.

 4. Type of Items

Some things, like fragile or valuable items, may need extra care or special packing, which can add to the cost. Also, certain goods might need extra paperwork or customs checks.

 5. Customs and Taxes

The UK may charge extra taxes or duties on your shipment depending on what you’re sending and its value. Usually, the person receiving the package pays these charges, but it’s good to know about them before you send.

Here’s a rough idea of costs:

For exact prices, contact the shipping company with your parcel details like weight, size, and destination.

Type of Shipping

• Air Cargo is fast but a bit more expensive.

• Sea Cargo is slower but cheaper, great for large items.

 Weight and Size

The heavier or bigger your parcel is, the more it will cost. Prices are usually based on either weight or size (whichever is more).

Delivery Location in the UK

Sending to London, Birmingham, or Manchester? Some locations may cost slightly more depending on the distance.

Type of Items Why It Matters for Shipping Cost

What you’re sending can also change the shipping price. Some items are simple to ship, while others need more care, time, or paperwork. Here’s how it works:

Expensive Items

If you’re sending things like mobile phones, laptops, branded clothes, or jewelry, the cost may be higher.

• These items may need extra insurance in case they get lost or damaged.

• Shipping companies also charge more to protect valuable items.

Fragile Items

If your items can break easily (like glass, dishes, or mirrors), they need special packing.

• This includes bubble wrap, foam, or even wooden boxes.

• Extra packing and careful handling can increase the shipping cost.

Restricted or Special Items

Some things, like perfume, batteries, liquids, or food, are harder to send.

• These items might need special approval or documents for customs.

• This can take more time and may add extra charges.

Simple Items

Everyday items like clothes, shoes, blankets, and kitchen items are usually easy and cheaper to ship.

• They don’t need special packing or paperwork.

Quick Tip

Before sending your parcel, always ask:

• Does this item need special packing?

• Do I need to fill out customs forms?

• Is insurance needed?

Knowing these things in advance can help you save money and avoid delays.
