Send a parcel to Afghanistan

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan has very important social, historical, cultural and economic ties with the UK and we do see a very significant number of parcels being sent there using our partner courier services on a daily basis.

For many millennia Afghanistan has been a central trading point as the Silk Roads passed through the country as they connected Europe to China. Today, decades of war and conflict has taken a toll on the country's wealth and standard of living of its inhabitants. In recent years, however, the Afghan economy has been growing at about 10% per year - partly due to foreign aid and expats sending funds into the country from abroad.

One industry important to Afghanistan is mining due to significant deposits of lithium, gold, coal, iron ore, copper and other minerals. IT also has abundant supplies of crude oil and natural gas and liquids that are relatively untapped.
