Markets
We separate the two deliberately. One is a shipment we can evidence; the rest are markets we sell into. A map covered in invented destinations is the fastest way for a supplier to lose a buyer's trust.
So the globe draws one lane, not five: Port Qasim, Karachi to the United States. The markets below it are listed, not plotted.

AHM quotes FOB Karachi. The other rules are here for comparison — a rule appearing on this chart is not a service being offered, and any term other than FOB is a commercial agreement to be made in writing.

Packing and dispatch
Buyer questions
AHM has documented FOB apparel export experience from Port Qasim, Karachi to the United States. Other markets shown on this site are target buyer markets and are labelled as such. They are not presented as shipment history.
No. AHM International manufactures in Pakistan and supplies buyers internationally. We do not operate a local office in any buyer market, and we do not claim one.
You do. Under FOB the forwarder is normally the buyer's nomination, and we coordinate the booking and document release with them.
Documentation is prepared alongside packing rather than after it, so it is ready when the shipment is. The binding constraint is usually vessel booking rather than paperwork.
Send the article, quantity and destination port. We will come back with an FOB position against your specification.
