Quick Answer In Pakistan, injection molding machines are sold locally at prices ranging from PKR 600,000 (used, small tonnage) to PKR 18,000,000+ (new, large tonnage). Machines sourced directly from China and cleared through Karachi Port cost 15–25% less than buying through a local dealer — but require more effort on your side. Read the full breakdown below before making any decision.

Local Dealer Price vs. Direct Import from China — What's the Difference?
Most machines sold by Pakistani dealers are originally imported from China. When you buy through a local dealer, you are paying for their margin (typically 15–30%), their inventory risk, and the convenience of local after-sales. Here is what the same machine costs through each channel:
| Factor | Local Dealer (Pakistan) | Direct Import (China) |
|---|---|---|
| Price (200T servo machine) | PKR 8,000,000 – 9,500,000 | PKR 6,500,000 – 7,500,000 |
| Warranty | Usually 6–12 months local | 12–24 months from factory |
| Lead time | 1–4 weeks (from stock) | 50–80 days (production + shipping) |
| Customization | Limited — whatever is in stock | Full — specify screw, controller, voltage |
| After-sales support | Local technician available | Remote support; local agent varies |
| Risk | Low — you see the machine first | Requires supplier verification |
| Best for | Urgent needs, first-time buyers | Buyers who plan ahead and want better value |
True Landed Cost to Pakistan (Direct Import Breakdown)
If you import directly from China, here is a realistic cost breakdown for a 200-ton servo machine delivered to Karachi. This is what you actually pay — not just the machine price.
| Cost Item | USD | PKR (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Machine FOB price (200T servo) | $22,000 | PKR 6,116,000 |
| Sea freight (China → Karachi Port) | $1,400 – $2,200 | PKR 389,000 – 612,000 |
| Marine insurance | ~$250 | ~PKR 70,000 |
| Pakistan customs duty (HS 8477) | $2,000 – $4,000 | PKR 556,000 – 1,112,000 |
| Port handling & clearing agent | $400 – $700 | PKR 111,000 – 195,000 |
| Inland transport to factory | $300 – $800 | PKR 83,000 – 222,000 |
| Installation & commissioning | $500 – $1,500 | PKR 139,000 – 417,000 |
| Total Landed Cost (estimated) | $26,850 – $31,450 | PKR 7,464,000 – 8,743,000 |
Customs duty rate on HS 8477 varies between 5–20% depending on sub-category and current Pakistan tariff schedule. Confirm with a Karachi clearing agent before finalizing your budget.
New Machine vs. Used Machine — What Pakistani Buyers Should Know
Used injection molding machines are widely available in Pakistan, mainly sourced from China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Before buying used, understand the real risks:
| Consideration | New Machine | Used Machine |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Higher upfront | 30–60% cheaper |
| Warranty | 12–24 months standard | Usually none |
| Hidden repair cost | Very low | High if not inspected |
| Electricity cost | Lower (servo motor standard) | Often hydraulic — higher monthly bill |
| Customization | Fully configurable | Fixed as-is |
| Lifespan remaining | Full (10–15 years) | Unknown without inspection |
Warning for used machine buyers: Always request a video of the machine running under load and ask for shot counter records. Many Pakistan buyers have received machines that appeared fine in photos but required PKR 150,000–300,000 in repairs after arrival.
Which Brand Is Best Value for Pakistan?
Most machines in Pakistan are sourced from China. Here is how the main options compare:
| Brand / Origin | Price Level | Parts in Pakistan | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haitian (China) | Medium | Moderate | Energy-efficient production, servo focus |
| SS Machinery (China) | Medium | Good — local agents present | Most buyers — safest long-term choice |
| Borch / Tederic (China) | Lower–Medium | Limited | Budget buyers, thin-wall packaging |
| Chen Hsong (Taiwan) | Medium–High | Moderate | Precision parts, mid-range quality needs |
| Arburg / Engel (Europe) | 3–5× China price | Very limited | Export-grade precision only — not practical for most PK factories |
How to Import an Injection Molding Machine from China to Pakistan
- Define your requirements — Product dimensions, material (PP/PE/ABS/etc.), estimated cycle time, and annual production volume. This determines the tonnage and screw size you need.
- Get CIF Karachi quotes from 2–3 suppliers — Always compare on CIF price (cost + insurance + freight to Karachi), not just FOB. Ask for CE certification and a full spare parts list.
- Confirm specifications in writing — Before paying any deposit, get a signed technical spec sheet. This protects you if the machine arrives with different components.
- Pay deposit (standard: 30% deposit, 70% before shipment) — For new suppliers, avoid paying 100% upfront. T/T is the most common payment method; L/C at sight is also accepted by most factories.
- Pre-shipment video inspection — If you cannot visit China, request a video of your specific machine running under load before releasing the balance payment.
- Customs clearance in Karachi — Use a clearing agent experienced in machinery (HS 8477). They will handle Form-E documentation and recommend the correct HS sub-heading to minimize duty.
- Installation and commissioning — Most suppliers offer remote guidance. Ask whether they have a local Pakistan agent who can do on-site commissioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of an injection molding machine in Pakistan in PKR?
Local market prices in Pakistan range from approximately PKR 600,000 for a small used machine to PKR 22,000,000+ for a new large-tonnage machine. A new 100-ton Chinese servo machine typically costs PKR 3,000,000–4,500,000 through a local dealer, or around PKR 2,500,000–3,500,000 if imported directly from China.
Can I import an injection molding machine from China to Pakistan?
Yes. Injection molding machines (HS code 8477) are regularly imported from China to Pakistan. You will need a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and a Form-E from your bank. A Karachi-based clearing agent handles the documentation and customs process.
What is the customs duty on injection molding machines in Pakistan?
Customs duty on plastic machinery (HS 8477) typically ranges from 5% to 20% depending on the specific sub-heading and applicable regulatory duty. Additional levies (ACD, WHT) may apply. Confirm the current rate with a Karachi clearing agent before finalizing your budget.
Is a servo injection molding machine worth it in Pakistan?
Yes, for most buyers. A servo machine uses 40–70% less electricity than a conventional hydraulic machine. Given electricity costs in Pakistan, the savings typically recover the price premium within 12–24 months of normal production.
How long does delivery from China to Pakistan take?
Production lead time is 25–45 days for standard models. Sea freight from Ningbo or Shanghai to Karachi takes 18–25 days. Customs clearance adds 5–10 days. Total from order to machine in your factory: approximately 50–80 days.
