Car Shipping Sialkot
Importing a Car to Sialkot
Sialkot is a very ancient city in Pakistan located beneath the Kashmir hills near the Chenab River. It has been a large migration city for many cultural communities throughout Pakistan and Asia. When making plans to import your car to Sialkot, you may want to take note that July and August are the monsoon months, and with roadways flooding due to the rainstorms as well as ice caps from the Himalayas melting, it may be best to import during months when the chance of flooding has abated. When you obtain the services of an international auto transport service, they will need you to present some of the following documents when arranging the shipment of your car:
- Your Valid Driver’s License
- Car Insurance Certificate
- Social Security Number
- Power of Attorney
- Car Title and Registration
The assistant with the transport company will go over all other necessary paperwork and details on the relocating cost to Sialkot, delivery fees, and all other aspects of the international shipping process. You may want to check with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency before making shipping arrangements for new updates on exporting from the U.S. and travel advisories, if there are any. You may also want to contact Pakistani Customs for information on import regulations for Sialkot, specific information about city travel, and housing or motor vehicle laws for driving in Sialkot. Customs will need certain documents upon the arrival of your car to the customs clearance checkpoint. Those documents may include your passport, car title, deregistration certificate, and sales invoice. The sales invoice will need to show the engine power, the engine number, and the make and model of the car. When you import a vehicle to Sialkot, you must be prepared to pay taxes and import duties on the car. Information on tax and duty amounts can be obtained through the Pakistani Federal Board of Revenue. Diplomats may import used cars older than 2 years from the date of importation, but Pakistani Nationals and foreign travelers are only allowed to import new or used cars that are within 2 years of the date of importation. If you are a Pakistani National, you may be able to have the age of the vehicle limit lifted if you have plans to give the car to a family member in Sialkot as a gift, are permanently relocating to Sialkot as a resident, or claim the car with your baggage. You must apply for the exemption upon your arrival in Sialkot and show proof of your resident and/or gifting status.
