DG LCL to Pakistan: what the numbers mean

Karachi is the only Pakistani port on this sheet, and it is priced two ways. The Thursday direct sailing is USD95/CBM; the KARACHI(PSA3) booking, which relays through Singapore, is USD225/CBM on a 35-day transit. Both are billed per CBM against a 2 CBM minimum, so a 1 CBM shipment still pays for 2 CBM.

Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM per bill of lading, the Class 2 destination surcharge, the fair-weather weight surcharge and, on the PSA3 booking, the Singapore PSA handling fee.

How to read this sheet: “Direct” means the carrier's own vessel call, “Transship” means a relay through the port shown; a dash in the Via column means there is no relay. CISF is marked N on both Karachi lines. The RMB local charges in the next section are quoted in RMB and are separate from the ocean rate.

Rates are the November 2026 Shanghai export DG LCL rates (ETD November 1–14, 2026) plus a USD30/CBM uplift. Guangzhou-origin DG LCL on the same lane is quoted shipment by shipment.

  • Export declaration: RMB200 per commodity
  • Shipping declaration: RMB100 per commodity

VGM is the verified gross mass declaration and is charged per bill of lading, not per CBM. The PSA fee applies only to the Singapore relay booking.

Singapore PSA grading PSA3 booking only

  • Dangerous goods are graded PSA1, PSA2 or PSA3 under Singapore local rules
  • A 16-item MSDS must be submitted before booking for SIN to confirm the grade
  • Yangtze-ban UN numbers and lithium batteries are accepted on Friday sailings only
  • They are not accepted on Saturday sailings

Weight surcharge

  • Where the weight-to-volume ratio TON:M3 is 0.75 or more, add USD20/TON
  • This line sits in the Pakistan route note and is charged on actual weight

Dense cargo — drums, batteries, machinery spares — hits this threshold quickly; price it into the landed cost before you book.

Both figures are the carrier's base rate plus a USD30/CBM uplift, valid for ETD November 1–14, 2026.

The KARACHI(PSA3) line carries a transit handling fee of PSA3 USD150/BILL; PSA2S and PSA2 are quoted case by case. Dangerous goods are graded PSA1, PSA2 or PSA3 under Singapore rules, so a 16-item MSDS must be provided before booking for SIN to confirm the grade.
