Indicative estimate only — duty rates are based on Pakistan Customs Tariff (FY2025) and are subject to change via SRO notifications. Customs may reassess the CIF value. Electric and hybrid vehicles, baggage-scheme imports, and commercial importers face different rates. Always confirm with a licensed clearing agent before importing.
Total Duty = CD + RD + ST + FED + WHTCDCustoms Duty = CIF × CD rateRDRegulatory Duty = CIF × RD rateSTSales Tax = (CIF + CD + RD) × 17%FEDFederal Excise Duty = (CIF + CD + RD) × FED rateWHTWithholding Tax = (CIF + CD + RD + ST + FED) × WHT ratePakistan applies multiple duty layers on vehicle imports. Customs Duty and Regulatory Duty are calculated on the CIF value. Sales Tax and FED are charged on the duty-inclusive base (CIF + CD + RD). Withholding Tax is then applied on the full cumulative value.
Importing a car to Pakistan involves multiple overlapping duties and taxes that can easily double or triple the vehicle's overseas purchase price. This calculator gives you a complete layer-by-layer breakdown — Customs Duty, Regulatory Duty, Sales Tax (17%), Federal Excise Duty, and Withholding Tax — calculated exactly as Pakistan Customs does, using engine displacement (CC) as the primary rate determinant.
Enter the CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight) value of the vehicle in Pakistani Rupees and the engine displacement in CC. The calculator selects the correct duty bracket, applies each levy in sequence, and shows you the total duty burden and final import cost. CIF values in foreign currency should first be converted to PKR at the applicable customs rate.
| Engine CC | Customs Duty · Regulatory Duty · FED · Withholding Tax |
|---|---|
| Up to 800cc | CD 50% · RD 0% · FED 0% · WHT 1% |
| 801–1000cc | CD 50% · RD 0% · FED 0% · WHT 1% |
| 1001–1300cc | CD 50% · RD 15% · FED 5% · WHT 1% |
| 1301–1500cc | CD 75% · RD 15% · FED 10% · WHT 1% |
| 1501–1800cc | CD 100% · RD 25% · FED 15% · WHT 1% |
| 1801–2000cc | CD 125% · RD 25% · FED 20% · WHT 1% |
| 2001–2500cc | CD 150% · RD 25% · FED 25% · WHT 2% |
| Above 2500cc | CD 200% · RD 25% · FED 30% · WHT 2% |
A small 660cc used car (e.g. a Japanese kei car) with a landed CIF value of Rs. 1,800,000. Engines up to 800cc pay no Regulatory Duty and no FED.
Total import cost ≈ Rs. 3,190,590 — duty adds about 77% to the CIF value.
Sub-800cc cars are the cheapest to import because they escape both Regulatory Duty and FED.
A 1300cc used sedan with a landed CIF value of Rs. 3,000,000. The 1001–1300cc bracket adds 15% Regulatory Duty and 5% FED on top of Customs Duty.
Total import cost ≈ Rs. 6,099,390 — duty more than doubles the CIF value (about 103%).
Above 1300cc the rates climb further, which is why imported 1.8L+ cars often cost two to three times their overseas price.
Knowing the total duty-inclusive import cost before committing to a purchase prevents expensive surprises at the port. Use this calculator to compare the total PKR cost of different CC-class cars, decide whether importing or buying locally is cheaper, and verify quotes from clearing agents.
The most common mistake is calculating duty on the purchase price rather than the CIF value — shipping and insurance can add 10–20% to the base. Customs may also apply a minimum assessed value from their database if your declared CIF is below market rates, increasing the actual duty beyond this estimate. Always treat this calculator as an indicative guide and confirm with a licensed clearing agent.
