Phone Import Cost Calculator

Importing a mobile phone into Pakistan involves more than the PTA registration fee — customs duty, sales tax and other charges apply depending on how the device enters the country. This Phone Import Cost Calculator estimates the full import cost so you can budget accurately before buying abroad or receiving a phone from overseas.

The calculation combines the customs duty on mobile phones with the applicable sales tax and regulatory charges, applied to the phone's assessable value. The result is the approximate total you will pay at customs, separate from any PTA registration tax.

For most personal imports, the total government charges can be a significant share of the phone's price — often making a locally purchased, already-taxed device the cheaper option. This calculator lets you compare both paths with real numbers.

Customs rates change with each federal budget, and the rates here are editable inputs so you can update them when tariffs are revised. Confirm current duty rates with the FBR or customs authorities before a major purchase.
