Pakistan Customs has announced new custom duties for iPhone 16, iPhone 15, and earlier models. These changes are part of the updated Valuation Ruling 1909 of 2025. According to the new ruling, custom duties now start from Rs168,000 and can go up to Rs. 412,500, depending on the model and storage capacity.
The new rates were decided after reviewing import data from the last 90 days and taking advice from industry experts. Officials studied the market trends and made adjustments to ensure that the new valuations are fair and up to date.
The update also covers older iPhone models. Their values have been adjusted to match the current market prices, and depreciation has been allowed. This means older phones will have slightly lower duties compared to the latest models.
Authorities expect these changes to impact the cost of importing iPhones into Pakistan and to affect local market prices. Buyers might notice some changes in iPhone prices in the coming days.
The main goal of this update is to align Pakistan’s custom duties with global market trends. It also aims to make the system more balanced for businesses and consumers, especially for smartphones and other expensive gadgets.
This step is seen as a move to create a fairer and more transparent system for smartphone imports. Importers, retailers, and buyers are encouraged to check the new duty rates before making any purchase or import decisions.
