When people search for shipping lines to Afghanistan, they often look for carriers that serve Karachi (Pakistan) or Bandar Abbas (Iran), since Afghanistan itself has no seaport. From there, cargo is transported inland to Kabul, Kandahar, or other destinations.
📌 You cannot book directly with these major carriers as an individual. Even if you could, you’d pay full tariff rates, which are higher than the discounted contract rates that All TransportDepot secures through its volume contracts.
That’s why using All TransportDepot ensures smoother handling and competitive pricing for shipments to Afghanistan.
