The passport route applies when you register within 60 days of arriving in Pakistan. After that, or for a phone bought locally, the CNIC figure applies. Open the Galaxy A34 in the calculator to switch between them.
The tax is charged on a customs value that FBR fixes for each model in a valuation ruling, not on the price you paid. The Galaxy A34 is in that ruling, so the value used here is FBR's own, converted to rupees at today's exchange rate.
The rates are the ones in force since 1 July 2026: regulatory duty by value band, sales tax of 18% up to a value of US$500 and 25% above it, the handset levy and, on a CNIC, advance income tax and a 10% fine. Our guide to what PTA tax is made of sets out each one with its source.

How do I find the exact PTA tax on my Galaxy A34?
Register it through PTA's DIRBS portal, or dial *8484# from a local SIM. You give your CNIC or passport number and the phone's IMEI, and the system issues a Payment Slip ID with the exact amount, which you pay at a bank. Reach DIRBS through pta.gov.pk rather than a search result, because imitation sites exist.
