How the Pakistan Car Custom Duty Calculator works
Enter the CIF value in dollars, the exchange rate and the duty percentages for your HS code. The calculator cascades customs duty, regulatory duty, excise, sales tax and advance income tax to give the landed cost.
Formula: Landed cost = CIF + Customs duty + ACD + RD + FED + Sales tax + Income tax
What to know before you calculate
Import duty on cars depends on engine size, age and the route used (commercial import, gift scheme or personal baggage). Use the percentages from the current tariff for your vehicle, because they change often with each budget.
Which import route applies to you
The route decides whether you can import a used car at all. Reports on the Ministry of Commerce decisions (December 2025, notified January 2026) say the personal baggage scheme for used cars was abolished, while the gift and transfer-of-residence schemes remain open to overseas Pakistanis for used cars up to three years old, with a one-year ban on transferring the car after import and, for transfer of residence, the car shipped from the country where the owner lives.
Commercial imports of used cars were opened with an extra regulatory duty of 40% that is scheduled to fall by 10 percentage points a year from tax year 2027. In late October 2026 news reports said the government was removing the five-year age limit on commercial imports. These rules are changing quickly, so check the latest import policy order and SROs on the Commerce and FBR websites before you buy a car abroad.
What decides the duty on a car
Customs assesses the car at its own valuation for that make, model and year, which can differ from the price you paid. Duty then depends mainly on engine capacity (cc) and the route: larger engines attract much higher customs and regulatory duty, and additional customs duty, sales tax and advance income tax are worked out on the running total. Enter the rates from the current tariff for your vehicle's engine size; the calculator shows each layer so you can see where the cost comes from.
Landed cost is more than duty
Add shipping, port and clearing agent charges, registration and the provincial token tax to the duty before comparing an imported car with a local one. Ask a licensed customs agent for a written estimate for the exact vehicle before you pay a seller.
Tips for accurate results
Government duties and rules are revised frequently. Verify the final figure on the official portal before payment or application.
