Sambrial, between Sialkot and Wazirabad, hosts Sialkot's international airport and dry port, rice farms and many small units that work for Sialkot's exporters. Families with members in Europe and the Gulf, exporters' suppliers and transporters are among its taxpayers.

Next Door to the Airport and Dry Port

Sialkot's exporters built their own international airport and dry port near Sambrial, and both have brought work to the town. Freight forwarders, clearing agents, transporters, packing firms and caterers serve the cargo and passengers moving through them. A clearing agent's income is the fees and commission he earns, not the value of goods cleared, and clients often withhold tax from those fees, which the agent claims. Transport companies carrying export cargo between factories, the dry port and the airport keep trip sheets, fuel bills and payment advices.

Subcontractors to Sialkot's Exporters

Workshops in Sambrial stitch footballs, sew gloves, polish surgical instruments and pack sportswear for exporters in Sialkot. Exporters increasingly insist on registered suppliers so that their own withholding and sales tax records are complete. A workshop's profit is its job charges less wages, power and materials.

Rice

Basmati grown on family land is agricultural income; husking mills and traders earn business income.

Families Abroad

Sambrial's families have relatives in Italy, Spain, the UK and the Gulf. Money sent through banks is a receipt in the wealth statement; relatives who own Pakistani property in their own names should file here.

Shops and Services

Shops on the main road keep supplier bills and daily sales; restaurants deal with PRA.
