How WeBOC Transshipment (TP) Works in Practice
When an ocean Bill of Lading indicates Lahore or Sialkot as the final place of delivery (with Karachi as port of discharge), the container cannot be cleared for consumption in Karachi. Instead, it must be legally transshipped under Customs Bond:
Our Karachi office files an electronic Transshipment (TP) application linking the shipping line IGM manifest with the bonded carrier license and container details.
A financial carrier guarantee is debited, and Pakistan Customs affixes a serialized Electronic Tracking Seal (e-seal) onto the container handles.
The container travels via designated national highway corridors (N-5 or Motorways) equipped with active GPS tracking and geo-fencing to prevent tampering.
Upon arrival at Lahore or Sialkot Dry Port, customs officers de-seal the unit. The importer files their Home Consumption GD and settles duty locally.
