What affects the cost of moving house to Pakistan
- • Total weight: the main factor. Fewer, lighter items mean a lower bill.
- • Type of goods: general household goods cost less per kg than fragile items or electricals.
- • Bulk and size: large but light items such as sofas, mattresses and bedding can be charged on volume.
- • Collection address: we collect across the UK; access and stairs can affect collection planning.
- • Delivery location: city, town or village anywhere in Pakistan or Azad Kashmir.
- • Packing: well-packed, clearly labelled boxes make the move smoother and safer.
What to take and what to leave
Shipping costs are based on weight, so it pays to think about what’s worth taking:
| Worth shipping | Often better to buy in Pakistan |
|---|---|
| Clothes, shoes and bedding | Large, cheap furniture |
| Personal items, photos and books | Heavy, low-value items |
| Good-quality kitchenware and crockery | Basic groceries, rice and spices |
| Small appliances you already own | Items that don’t suit Pakistani voltage or plugs |
| Children’s toys and school items | Bulky items you rarely use |
💡 UK appliances run on 230V like Pakistan, but plug types differ. Adapters are cheap, so small appliances are usually fine to ship.

Packing furniture and fragile items for shipping to Pakistan
- • Take furniture apart: beds, tables and wardrobes. Bag and tape the screws to the matching piece.
- • Wrap furniture in blankets or bubble wrap and cover corners with cardboard.
- • Pack plates on their side, wrapped individually, with paper filling every gap.
- • Keep boxes under 25–30kg so they’re easy to handle and less likely to split.
- • Seal every seam with strong packing tape, top and bottom.
- • Label clearly with the receiver’s name, address and phone number on at least two sides.
Customs and paperwork
Customs clearance in the UK and Pakistan is included in our removal service. To make it smooth:
- ✔ Keep a simple inventory of what’s in each box.
- ✔ Have a copy of the receiver’s ID details and a contact number in Pakistan ready.
- ✔ Don’t pack prohibited items such as flammable liquids, aerosols, loose batteries, cash or valuables (see GOV.UK’s guidance on prohibited and restricted goods).
- ✔ Ask us before shipping anything unusual, such as large quantities of new goods.
All shipments remain subject to Pakistani customs regulations. We’ll tell you if anything on your list needs extra attention.
