Passport or CNIC, what is the difference?
The passport rate is for phones brought in by travellers. The CNIC rate is for registering a phone with your CNIC, and it is usually higher.
Are these amounts exact?
No. They are estimates from public sources and may differ by 5 to 10 percent. The date of each figure is shown.
Does the amount include a fine?
Most CNIC amounts on this page do not include a fine. The Galaxy S26 figures do include one, and that is stated beside them.
Is PTA tax different for filers and non-filers?
Yes, on the CNIC route. A person who is not on the FBR active taxpayer list (a non-filer) pays a higher income tax than a filer, so the CNIC amount is higher. The passport route does not depend on filer status. Most sources give one CNIC figure without saying which status it is for, so treat it as a guide and confirm the exact amount on the PTA DIRBS portal. For the Galaxy S26 we show a range from filer to non-filer.
Is the Galaxy S26 PTA tax official?
No. FBR has not published a customs value for the Galaxy S26 yet, so the amounts are projected estimates dated 27 October 2026. The DIRBS payment slip for your IMEI gives the real amount.
How do I pay PTA tax online?
Open the official PTA DIRBS portal, enter your phone details and IMEI, and choose the passport or CNIC route. The portal gives you a payment slip with the exact amount. Pay it through your bank app, a bank branch or another supported channel, and the phone is usually activated after the payment is confirmed.
Can I check PTA tax by IMEI?
Yes. The official PTA DIRBS portal shows the exact amount for your phone from its IMEI. This page gives an estimate by model before you buy, and the DIRBS amount is the one you pay.
Has PTA tax been reduced or removed?
PTA tax rates are set by the government and can change, usually with the federal budget. We show the date of each figure so you can see how recent it is, and the exact amount for your phone is always the one shown on DIRBS.
What is DIRBS?
DIRBS is the Device Identification, Registration and Blocking System run by PTA. You use it to register a phone brought from abroad, see the exact tax for its IMEI and pay it.
How do I check if my phone is PTA approved?
Dial *#06# to see the IMEI, then check it on the official PTA DIRBS portal or by SMS to PTA. The result shows whether the phone is registered on Pakistani networks.
How long do I have to register a phone brought from abroad?
The passport route is meant for phones you bring with you, and it has a time limit after you arrive in Pakistan. The period can change, so confirm the current limit on the PTA DIRBS portal before you travel.
