Tax/Duty, PTA charges on iPhone 15 Pro Max in Pakistan

[k-a-q]

I live in the US. My brother-in-law wants me to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max from the US and bring it during my vacations to Pakistan. How will PTA charge me the taxes? Do I have to declare it at the airport? Or can it be charged at the carrier’s office (UPhone, Jazz etc.)? What about Taxes and Duty? Where do I pay these?

I’ll not be using it, my brother-in-law will be. Thanks.

I recommend carrying a gun with it, in case u get robbed…
Also just mention that u belong to PMLN at the airport and tell them u r bringing a gift for Marium bibi.

Taxes are paid directly to pta. https://dirbs.pta.gov.pk/
Also think about buying the phone in Pakistan. It may cost you less considering you've to pay additional tax on US bought phone

OK, I saw a ticker at your mentioned website.

I'll ask my B-I-L for the latest price of the iPhone in Pakistan before buying here....saw a YouTube video that mentions that the price of the 15 Pro Max has dropped ~Rs180K there.

Given the situation in the Banana Republic both the suggestions are valid and I agree with both of them.

Mehnat karo, paisay banao aur khud hi khareed lo.
Aaj phone manga hai, kall kalaan ko koi aisi cheez maang li jo aap na dey sakey to....

Is liay behtar hai abhi mana kar dein.
