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 Z Fold8 Ultra in the calculator to switch between them.
The tax is charged on a customs value that FBR fixes for each model, and it has not fixed one for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. We project it: FBR valued the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold5 generation at 80% of its US launch price, so we take the same share of this phone's launch price (US$2,100). If FBR values it differently, the tax will differ in step.
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.

Has FBR set an official value for the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

Until one is issued, every figure online for this phone is an estimate, including this one. Ours states its method: the share of US launch price that FBR used for the Galaxy S23 and Z Fold5 generation, applied to this phone.
How do I find the exact PTA tax on my Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?
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.
