Customs clearance at Sialkot’s doorstep, since 1985
Sialkot Dry Port Trust clears export and import cargo at Sambrial around the clock for the industries of Sialkot, Gujranwala, Wazirabad, Daska and Gujrat — then carries it under customs bond, sealed and GPS-tracked, to the sea and air ports of Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, and by road to Central Asia as a TIR hub.
Built by Sialkot’s exporters, for Sialkot’s exporters
In 1984, fifty-two exporters of Sialkot pooled their own money so the region could clear customs at home instead of in Karachi. The result was the first private-sector dry port in Asia.
More than forty years on, SDPT is where Sialkot’s sports goods, surgical instruments, leather and textiles meet Pakistan Customs. Declarations are filed online through WeBOC and the Pakistan Single Window, goods are examined on site day or night, and cargo leaves sealed and tracked — to Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, or by road to Central Asia and Russia under TIR.
