Surgical instruments are small and valuable, so most shipments from Pakistan to Mexico travel by courier or air freight. Sea freight suits large tender orders where time is less critical.
Your options
| Method | Typical transit time | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Courier (DHL, FedEx, UPS) | About 4 to 8 days | Samples and small orders, door to door |
| Air freight | About 6 to 12 days including clearance | Medium and large orders to Mexico City or Guadalajara |
| Sea freight | About 5 to 8 weeks | Large, heavy or low-urgency orders |
These are typical times. Customs inspections, holidays and routes can change them.
Main entry points
- Mexico City airport (AICM) and Felipe Ángeles (AIFA): Most air cargo
- Guadalajara and Monterrey airports: Good for western and northern Mexico
- Manzanillo: Main Pacific port, often used for cargo from Asia
- Veracruz: Main Gulf port
Costs to consider
- Freight and fuel surcharges
- Insurance
- Customs broker fees
- Import duties and VAT (IVA)
- Local delivery to your warehouse
Packing for the journey
Good suppliers pack instruments in sealed bags with corrosion protection, inside strong cartons. This matters for long journeys and humid ports.
