Mobile Phone Taxes

You can bring in one mobile phone (feature or a smartphone) to Pakistan without paying customs duty or tax. But, if you are planning to “import” a phone or bring with you a mobile device, you’d have to pay taxes for it whether a feature phone or a smartphone/tablet.

Update (24th September 2019): Taxes have been reduced quite a lot, most of the calculator entries have been updated. If your smartphone isn’t in the list or you think the tax mentioned is extremely high, please ask about that in the comment box below, we’ll send you the exact tax amount that you’ll be liable to pay.

We have been writing news about importing mobile phones into Pakistan, recently, here’s a complete guide for international travelers bringing in mobile devices to Pakistan.

Since you are here to find out the approximate mobile phone taxes that you would have to pay at the Airport or at the customs office, this table below would help.

Mobile Phones Taxes in Pakistan Calculator

Choose your Brand > Select Your Model > You’ll get the approximate tax payable.

Simple!

Apple

 Samsung
Nokia

 Xiaomi
Huawei

 Honor
Sony

 TECNO
MOTO

 INFINIX
MEIZU

 OnePlus
Google Pixel

 Realme
LG

 Others

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. Customs Duty = PKR 250 Fixed

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

  • If $1 to $60 = PKR 250
  • If $61 to $130 = 10% of Mobile value
  • If $130+ = 20% of the Value of the Phone

3. Sales Tax = PKR 1500

4. Additional Sales Tax = 3% Fixed

5. IT Duty = 9%

6. 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

7. 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!

      5. Yes, unfortunately, she’ll have to pay taxes. She wouldn’t be stopped on the airport of anything like that. You could start using the phone but within 60 Days you’d have to register it. Either by dialing *8484# or visiting https://dirbs.pta.gov.pk/

      6. Hey fahad .may i know the pta charges for note10 . My friend will get it for me from dubai .

      7. Hello,
        Ask your friend to register it on Passport, you’ll have to pay 31250 on Note 10.

      16. Bhai mein iphone 11 ka lena ka soch raha tha ap bataein ki us ki abhi pta approved ki charges kitni hein?

      17. Hello Noman Bhai,

        Agar ap ne iphone idhar Pakistan se lena he pta approved tou visit any mobile store unse price mil jy gi apko. Ya agar ap ne iphone 11 import krna he, dn you’d have to pay Around 32k on Passport and Around 41K on ID Card to register it with PTA.

      19. Yes, I know.
        We are constantly working on it.
        Tax on s10+ would be
        31.5K on Passport and 40.5K on ID Card.

      24. Hello Bro Me 1 mobile Use kr raha ho hud to bahir se me paksitan Aa raha to 1 free hai passport ya oska b text Asnwer !!

      1. hello bro.i order a Blackview A60 mobile from aliexpress about 45 Dollers.
        dear plese tell me which type of tex and duty is aplicable.my mobile is collected by costoms LHR.

      3. Hello,
        Registration via Passport, the tax will be around 35k. Via ID card, 40K – 45K

      4. We are expat Pakistanis living in the UAE,
        My daughter has gone to Pakistan for university studies, she has I phone 7S for last 3 years, but the tax that she has to pay is really very high according to your calculator, I’m afraid that she won’t be able to pay that, what’s the solution? Can she use that phone without SIM?
        One more query, isn’t 1 personal mobile exempt from this duty?

      5. Hello,
        Unfortunately, the “baggage facility”, 1 personal mobile phone that was previously exempted from the duty, has been discontinued. Ask your daughter to register the device within 60 days on arrival, she’ll pay around 31K not 42K. Still much, but that is what you’d have to pay in order to use the phone.

      6. Plz tell me tax amount for following phones
        Nokia 6700 classic
        Nokia 2630 classic
        Nokia Asha 200

    Reply

      3. You can bring one phone for free? Also you mentioned you can use the phone for 60 days does that mean use it with local sim?

      4. One free phone, also called “Baggage Facility” isn’t valid anymore. You’ll have to pay taxes on each and every phone that you brought into Pakistan. Also, your phone will work for 60 days, after then no local SIM would work on it.

  15. Asalamoalikum Sir.

    How much duty I have to pay on Lenovo tablets if I have got two tablets as a present on arrival at Islamabad international airport.

    I have got one Android mobile which I have used in Pakistan do I have to pay duty on arrival at isb airport traveling from Dubai

    H I have got one more mobile for personal use which I purchased from Dubai and is not registered..do I have to pay taxes on that as well

    Reply

    1. Wassalam Sharafat,
      1) TABLETS:
      If both of these do not have SIM slots or connectivity options, then you do not have to worry about anything.
      If they have SIM slots / and are 3g/4g, then you need to pay taxes to register those tablets.
      2) ANDROID MOBILE YOU USED IN PAK:
      No, it would already be paired with your number and no registration needed here, you are good to go.
      3) MOBILE PURCHASED FROM DUBAI:
      You are required to register this phone with PTA.

      Now the overall scenario, if your tablets do not have SIM Slots, you already have one phone that you used here at pak, only 1 remains as unregistered. You’ll have to pay nothing!! As you can bring in 1 mobile device per year that you’ll be able to register free of cost.
      Hope that helped you.
      If you need any further info, you can ask freely.

  16. Hello. I got a cellphone from my friend. I received an SMS that it is not PTA approved. I followed your process and entered an COC. The duty amount is 52 Thousand PKR. I don’t want to pay such amount for a phone which is worth just 10 thousand. I will return it back to my friend. Problem is that now that COC has been registered with my Mobile Number. Do I have to pay the duty?

    1. Hello Azam Khan
      iPhone XR is an expensive phone, its better if you do not leave it here, else you’d need to register it with Pta within 60 days and pay a huge amount (around 50K) in order to do that. unfortunately!

      Reply

    1. I’d recommend not to buy and send it from abroad, as your mobile phone’s price is over $500. You might need to pay over 50K to register it. Not even worth buying it at a discount.

      if you brought it along with yourself from abroad and want to register it on a passport, the tax might be as low as 25k – 30K.
      But as a local Pakistani, tax would be around 38K – 40K.
      Hope that helps

    1. Hello Shoaib,
      That news is true, 10K max for 500$ above, but, that is only “SALES TAX”. Total tax that you need to pay includes:
      1) Regulatory Duty
      2) Sales Tax
      3) Withholding Tax
      4) Mobile Levy
      5) Fixed Rate (As per the price of a mobile device).

      Hope that helps

        Govt has reduced tax on cell phones. My friend is bringing iPhone XR from USA and its cost is $600. We have already paid 8% tax in USA. Do I still have to pay tax in Pakistan and how much?

      1. I want to know that if we import a i phone x to Pakistan then we will have to pay tax at airport or we will have the time of 60 days? …….. And this tax is only custom duty or will approve the phone?

      2. Hello Ahmad,
        Good question. Yes, you’d have 60 days to register your phone. And yes, this tax is actually “The Custom Duty” that you’ll have to pay and after the tax you wouldn’t have to pay anything to get it approved by PTA.

  185. Brother what is difference between mobile registration on ID card and registration on Passport.
    Please advise.

    Reply

    1. Hello,
      Registration on Passport is when you register your mobile device as international travel bringing it that device along into Pakistan (Taxes on that will be slightly lower).
      And on ID Card, is when you are a local pakistani and import a phone from abroad or buy a used phone which isn’t registered. You’d apply via your ID Card not on your Passport. I hope that cleared your question.

  189. How is the value of phone determined? Considering mobile phones are available at different prices world wide, which price will the duty be applied on? Is it the invoice price or customs dept will have their own price list? If its later, then what is this price list based on? Please advise.

    Secondly, is there any distinction between duties applied on new and used phones? Used phones will definitely be cheaper as they are purchased from secondary market.

      3. Above 100 and Up to 200$
      4. Above 200 and Up to 350$
      5. Above 350 and Up to 500$

    1. FBR determines the tax value by using the actual prices of the phone. If your case, It’ll be 2500 AED. And while registering there isn’t any option granted to anyone to show purchase receipt or anything. If the phone isn’t used here and brought into Pakistan, registering and paying taxes for it is necessary.

      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.

      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.

  307. Bro Baggage rule is expected to be allowed again so can one bring one phone and pay zero tax for registration provided the person bringing his phone is already registered before?

      1. Hello,
        They have reduced taxes but only on smartphone below $100. And as of now, there isn’t any news for the baggage rule to be implemented again in the near future.

      Tax would be 6180 on Passport and 7865 on ID Card.

      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.
      Voila, your phone will be registered within 24 hours.

    What will be the tax amount for me? Can I be exempted from tax if I have USA passport?

    Reply

    1. Your phone is locked in USA now that you have returned? or you left your phone and is locked over here in Pakistan.
      Tax would be around 6k on Passport and around 8k on ID Card.
      Also, there isn’t any exemption for any passport holder.

  334. Sir i have checked imei of my phone samsung s9 plus before buying in pta app it is registered but now after two months I received message from 8484 that I have to register my phone in 60 days I checked again it is still register but the imei no they are showing in their msg is not imei of my phone.

    Reply

    1. 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.

    when I went to get it registered in PTA database. FBR charged me 4037 tax.
    They said it is fixed tax.
    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.

  339. 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

    1. 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

      if it isn’t registered,
      You’ll have to pay Around 6k on Passport and around 7.5K on Passport

    1. Hello,

      Tax on A30 https://www.phoneworld.com.pk/samsung-galaxy-a30s-tax/

      Actually you need to apply for registeration online by creating an account at https://dirbs.pta.gov.pk/drs

      or

      By dialing *8484# from any working SIM and stating your unregistered phone’s IMEIs.

      Or
      Visit any mobile network franchise (jazz, ufone etc) and take your sim along. They’ll give you a printed paper stating the tax that you’ll have to pay.

      Once you know the tax, you’ll have to pay it in a bank (any).

      If the phone costs between 200 – 350 USD, you’d have to pay PKR 6,180 while registering it on your passport (as an international traveler).
      If the phone costs between 350 – 500 USD, you’d have to pay PKR 17,660 while registering it on your passport (as an international traveler).

    1. You can bring in 5 phones a year max. And will have to pay taxes for all 5 of them if you plan to use them here in Pakistan.

      Reply

    1. If the phones are above USD 500, you’d have to pay 31520 on Passport and 40,500 on ID Card.
      If any of these two phones cost between 350-500 USD, you’d have to pay 17660 on Passport and 22700 on ID Card.

      Now you need to pay tax on every single phone that you bring in to Pakistan.

      On OnePlus 7 Pro, register it on your passport ! you’ll have to pay PKR 31500
