The Directorate General of Customs Valuation Karachi has fixed new customs values for the import of 62 types of old and used branded mobile phones, aiming to align duties with prevailing international market prices.
In this regard, the directorate issued Valuation Ruling No. 2035 of 2026 on Monday.
The revised values will apply to the commercial import of used mobile phones without packing or accessories, covering brands such as Apple, Samsung, and Google Pixel.
Officials said the previous valuation ruling was more than one and a half years old and no longer reflected current global market conditions. Several new smartphone models had entered the market, while a number of older models had reached their end of life, requiring depreciation adjustments.
As a result, customs authorities initiated a fresh valuation exercise under Sections 25 and 25A of the Customs Act, 1969, after identifying wide differences between declared import values and actual international prices.
Under the new ruling, customs duties and taxes will be assessed on the fixed values specified by Customs, regardless of the physical condition or grade of the used phones.
To qualify under the ruling, imported used mobile phones must have been activated at least six months prior to export to Pakistan. Importers will be required to declare the activation period, which will be verified by the concerned assessing officers.
For brands or models not listed in the valuation table, collectorates have been instructed to assess values under Sections 25(5) and 25(6) of the Customs Act.

Customs officials said multiple meetings were held with stakeholders during the valuation process, and importers were invited to submit documents to support their claims.
The directorate reviewed 90 days of import data, conducted market surveys, and visited local markets to assess actual selling prices. Since transaction values and comparable import data showed inconsistencies, customs authorities relied on market inquiry under Section 25(7) to determine final C&F values after adjusting margins and profits.
The revised valuation is expected to curb under-invoicing, improve revenue collection, and bring greater transparency to the import of used mobile phones.
Change your headline, it’s so misleading. It’s not a decrease in PTA tax but a reduction in customs duty.

Dear Writer, you should not mislead with Nonsense Titles. There isnt a single mention about PTA Tax in the article. What you should have done is mentioned the approx tax of every phone and compared with the old tax figures, this way people could see that there is indeed a “Massive Reduction”.
Nice so we get to fund another Elite wedding party with our hard earned money, via taxes.

میرے پاس alcatel کا بٹنوں والا جس کی پاکستان قیمت 2500 سو سے 2800 روپے ہے.

I have Samsung A50 which I bought 2019 price 450aed with exchange rate that time it cost me 18000. Last year i checked in. PTA it asked registration tax for 57000 PKR.
Either this is not true or implemented yet. After seeing this I tried ro register my Samsung S10+ and it gave me the duty amount of Pkr 94,000 plus amount.
Clickbait article
Good , sensible and positive initiative, after long time someone took a logical step .
Lot of other matters need similar and simpler approach. Good wake-up call for PTA also…..
Samsung a55 tax??
Tax on Iphone 8 and 8 plus is still quite high (38$ & 47$), because both are so old that their software cannot be updated anymore. Their tax should not be more than 1000 rupees.
It’s not “Massive Reduction in PTA Tax”, rather reduction or adjustment in Custom Duty. The label of the post is misleading.
Samsung s10 tax still 94500 pkr
I just buy it 24000 non pta
Waaa re pakistan tou kin kanjron k hathon main phans gya pta waly b gando hai samaj b nai hai yahan baith kaisy gy
