About Customs House Brokerage

Clearance done right is the difference between on‑time delivery and costly delays. Map Supply Chain Solutions provides end‑to‑end customs brokerage for exports and imports with accurate HS classification, compliant valuation/origin, permits and licenses coordination, and audit‑ready eDocs. We pre‑check documents, secure pre‑clearance where possible, and manage entries on local single‑window systems (e.g., PSW/WeBOC in Pakistan and GCC platforms via partners). From first invoice to final release, you get proactive updates, landed‑cost transparency, and a single point of contact 24/7—whether you ship Air, Ocean (FCL/LCL), or Cross‑Border Road on Pakistan ↔ GCC corridors and beyond.

How It Works


Pre‑check: share invoice, packing list, HS suggestions, product specs/datasheets, country of origin, and shipping plan.
Classification & permits: we confirm HS codes, identify license/permit needs, and estimate duties/taxes/fees.
Pre‑clearance: file advance entries where allowed; align BL/AWB, COO, and conformity docs.
Arrival & exam: manage port/airport/border processes, attend inspection, and handle samples/testing if required.
Duty/tax settlement: arrange e‑payments, bonds/guarantees where applicable.
Release & delivery: obtain DO/release, arrange last‑mile if door delivery, and issue a complete audit pack.

Coverage & indicative SLAs

Pakistan: PSW/WeBOC entries, green/yellow/red channel management; typical timelines (with complete docs)
Air imports: same day to 24–48 hours after ATA
Ocean imports: 1–3 working days after ATA/DO
Exports: same day to next day post gate‑in/acceptance
GCC via partners (UAE, KSA, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait): clearance time depends on product controls; typical 1–3 working days after arrival when permits are in place.
Timelines are indicative; inspections, testing, and compliance holds can extend processing.

Notes

DDP/IOR availability depends on local laws and importer‑of‑record requirements. We ensure compliance but do not provide legal advice; regulatory verification is part of our process.
