one phone without duty how it can be registered and where i can get it registered and its per passenger i suppose like if a family of 4 people is coming then every individual can register one phone against his CNIC.
What will be the case if a family of 4 to 5 members consisting of one Adult (with CNIC) and 3 to 4 Minors (without CNIC) enter Pakistan. How will the Smartphones of those minor children will be registered? Will they have to pay for taxes for their children’s smartphones to work in Pakistan? Because Im not sure if passport numbers can be used for this registration in DIRBS
Can anyone please explain this policy on phones bought online through Ali Baba and Amazon?
