How does the table above calculate taxes?

For every cell phone, these are the various taxes that you will be liable to pay if you are importing a phone through Ali Express or any eCommerce website online.

1. Regulatory Duty (Based on phone prices in USD)

  • If $1 to $30 = PKR 180
  • If $30 to $100 = PKR 1800
  • If $100 to $200 = PKR 2700
  • If $200 to $350 = PKR 3600
  • If $350 to $500 = PKR 10500
  • If $500+ = PKR 18500

2. Sales Tax (Based on phone prices in USD)

  • If $1 to $30 = PKR 150
  • If $30 to $100 = PKR 1470
  • If $100 to $200 = PKR 1870
  • If $200 to $350 = PKR 1930
  • If $350 to $500 = PKR 6000
  • If $500+ = PKR 10300

3. WHT – Withholding Tax

  • If $1 to $30 = PKR 70
  • If $30 to $100 = PKR xx
  • If $100 to $200 = PKR 930
  • If $200 to $350 = PKR 970
  • If $350 to $500 = PKR 3000
  • If $500+ = PKR 5200

4. IT Duty =Ā 9%

5. Mobile Levy (based on phone prices in PKR)

if cell phone value is PKR 10,000 to 40,000 = mobile levy will be PKR 1000

If PKR 40,000 to 80,000 = PKR 3000

If Over PKR 80,000 = PKR 5000

6. Provincial Tax = 0.9%

Add the above values and you will get the exact tax value that you’ll have to pay.

Want us to find the applicable tax on a smartphone that is missing in the calculator above?

Simply, comment below the name of the smartphone along with the model, we’ll let you know the tax that you’ll be liable to pay for that smartphone. We’ll also add it to the calculated taxes table above.

Hope you found out the excise duty for the mobile phone you plan to import. We know these rates are high and we think the government should take appropriate steps to minimize these taxes soon.

Make sure you share it with your friends and family!

      If you plan to stay longer, or leave your phone behind or you just wanna register it anyway, then you’ll have to pay
      for A50 and the Pixel 2 XL should approximately be
      Tax on Passport: PKR 6180/-

  • can you tell me about huawei mate 20 pro… whatmobile still shows 119000.. but on aliexpress its value around 491$ to 530$..

    Reply

    • If fba put the mate 20 pro at under 500 USD, then the tax would be 17K on Passport and 22K on ID Card. And, if they put it over 500usd, then tax would be 31.5K on Passport and 40.5K on ID card. hope that helps.

      Reply

    • Since the price of the phone according to FBR right now isn’t clear. So, if they place your iPhone 7 Plus in under $200-350 Usd, you’ll have to pay around pkr 8000 on ID Card or around 6800 on Passport. And, if they place your phone in $350-500, then the tax would be Pkr 22000 on id card and around 17000 on Passport. And yes, you’ll be allowed to use the phone for 60 days without registration or paying tax.
      Hope that helps

    • If you do not want to use both these phones in Pakistan for over 60 days, then do not pay taxes! You’ll be able to use them for 60 days with any network without any duties to pay.

      • Ap k article k mutabiq jab mainay calculate kia to Rs. 4000+ ban rha tha. Kia ap bata sakty hai k apny kaisay calculate kia? Jaldi batadain sale khatam hojaye gi..

      • That is true, Actually, abhi recently 100USD se less phones pe taxes Kam han. Ap IMEI len phone ka aur model, phir me apko exact bata sakta hun.
        Sab depend kerta he on FBR and kya value wo dete han iss phone ko. Agar yeh 100-200 me lie kry tou apko 4510 passport pe aur 6K id card pe dene paryn ge.

      • Agar FBR bhi apke phone ko less than 100 USD value deta he, then apke phone pe tax less than 1000 hoga approximately (Based on the tax reduction FBR did recently)

      • Agr phone $90 ka hai to fbr $100 above value ku daiga? Kia ye jan bhuj kr aesa karain ga? Phone ki actual value $130 but sale pr $90 ka mil rha hai.

      • Aur FBR waly value kaha sai pata karain ga?
        Ap please whatsapp number da sakty hain. Mujhy phone import krna hai q k pakistan mai wo brands nhi hai aur kafi expensive hai pakistan mai. Is liye.

      • Hey I want to bring two tablets from TOSCIDO to Pakistan. A tablet costs 99.98 euros. Do I have to pay taxes? And if so how much?

      • Hello,
        Do they have SIM Functionality? If yes, the question is, do you want to use the SIM Functionality or not? if not, then no tax required to pay. If yes, then you’ll have to pay taxes on each one of them to register their IMEI(s) with PTA in order to use it in Pakistan.

Kindly guide me with the amount of taxes to pay plus the process. Someone told me that taxes are around 6k which are greater than actual value o phone right now(around 4.5k).

    Reply

    • No, Blackberry Q10 is cheap, and the value is less than $100. So the tax wouldn’t be 6K. It’ll be around 1K. Can’t tell exactly how much as Govt reduced the taxes on phones below $100. Try using the DIRBS web portal to register or dial *8484#.

  • Fahad,
    Just wanted to inquire that I just bought a Huawei Y9s for myself from Qatar and my mom bought a Samsung Note9 for my father. While at the airport the custom officer’s didn’t asked us anything and we went through… I’m using the cellphone since 4 days haven’t received any message from PTA. DO you think I still need to pay tax on it?

    Reply

    • Hello,

      Actually the phones would work for 60 days without any issue, then it’ll be blocked and without registration, you wouldn’t get signals.
      Ultimately, you’d have to pay taxes for both of them.

      Try registering it using on your passport within 30 days of arrival, you’d have to pay discounted tax.

      Tax on Y9S on Passport = 6180 ,, On ID Card = 7865
      Tax on Note 9 on Passport = 31,520 ,, On ID Card = 40,392

    is it True tax applied on my mobile, which is refurbished and cost me just 20 dollar.
    why they didn’t charge me normal tax which is 300PKR upto 30 dollar C&F value of mobile.
    any suggestion for online purchasing.

    Reply

    • Oh, that’s a rare case.
      did you buy it used? here in Pakistan or you brought it in from abroad.
      My best guess would be that it was a carrier locked phone and in order to unlock it, they overwrite its IMEI.
      If you bought it here from a shop keeper, get it back to him as soon as you can.

      In order to register, log on to https://dirbs.pta.gov.pk/drs/ or dial *8484# from a working SIM and apply for the registration.
      Afterwards, pay the tax amount in any bank.

      Yes, your mother would have to pay tax on the new Samsung Galaxy A30S in order to use it in Pakistan (Although phone would work with any SIM for 60 Days).
      Make sure you register it on your mother’s name as an international traveler via https://dirbs.pta.gov.pk/drs/auth/login within 30 days in order to get slight discount on the total tax.

      A30s tax on Passport = PKR 6180

  • Hello Fahad,

    Can you please clarify the difference between the duty on passport vs that on NIC? How does that work? If I create an account on PTA website using my passport details then will I pay lesser duty?

    Thanks for answering the querries:
    I have a plan to bring two phones, one samasung S10 brand new & second used Samsung S9. Need to know the following:

    1. Tax is calculated per slot/SIM or phone?
    2. What is the approximate tax for each phone if registered on passport?
    3. How does the cost of cell phone work and used? Do I need to bring purchase receipts for each phone or will tax be calculated against current market value in Pakistan of each phone?

    Thanks again and best regards,
    Imran

    Reply

    • Hello Imran,
      Thanks for commenting

      1. Tax is calculated per Phone’s IMEI (DIRBS system does it at their back end)
      2. for both the models mentioned above, you’ll have to pay 31,500 to register them.
      3. No, just dial *8484# from a local SIM, follow the instructions, you’ll receive logins, use them to enter the web portal and track your application or register a new device.

      I hope that helped you out.

  • Hello Fahad,
    I came KSA to perform Ummrah. I buy iPhone X 64GB in used condition here. What amount of duty should I’ve to pay at Islamabad airport? Is it entered through my passport or my ID? Is there any amount difference?

    Reply

    • Umrah Mubarak!
      No, You wouldn’t have to pay at the airport. You’ll have to register it via the DIRBS Web Portal or by dialing *8484#.
      And yes there’s a difference in Tax amount if you register it via Passport or via ID Card.

      Tax on ID CARD = 40,500
      Tax on Passport = 31,500

        Also will she have to pay this at the airport?
        JazakAllah.

      • Wassalam Ali bhai.
        yes, around 32K
        and no, she’ll have 30 days to register it on her Passport. Not at the Airport! No one will ask for the phone.
        Use Dirbs web port or dial *8484# to register it.

    Reply

    • Wassalam,
      If the phone has previously been used in Pakistan, there is a chance that it’ll be registered. As all the phones that were used before 31st December 2018 are automatically registered. If it isn’t, you’d have to pay Around 32K on Passport and Around 42K on ID Card to register it.
      Thanks

    • Hello Amaan,
      You can use the phone for 60 days after arrival. After that, it’ll be blocked and you’d have to register it in order to use it. Registration fee of iPhone 11 Around 32K on Passport and Around 42K on ID Card.

    • Hello,
      You need to pay taxes on all smartphones that you bring along whether personal (in use) or pin packed. If you used those personal phones here in Pakistan Before 31st December 2018, it’ll be registered. If not, then, unfortunately, you’d have to pay taxes.
      And no, you have got 60 days to register them, you don’t have to register it at the airport. Within those 60 days, you can log on the https://dirbs.pta.gov.pk/ to register it.
