The estimated PTA tax on the iPhone Duo 256GB is PKR 155,433 on a passport and PKR 183,626 on a CNIC. FBR has not published a customs value for the iPhone Duo, so this is a projection. FBR valued the iPhone 16 family at 88% of its US launch price, and the same share of the iPhone Duo's launch price is used here.
Projected from the launch price; FBR has not valued this phone yet. The DIRBS payment slip is the figure that counts.

Where the numbers come from
The tax is charged on a customs value that FBR fixes for each model, and it has not fixed one for the iPhone Duo. We project it: FBR valued the iPhone 16 family at 88% of its US launch price, so we take the same share of this phone's launch price (US$1,999 to US$3,199). 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.
