Here's what I found regarding PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) tax on bringing in Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and Samsung Galaxy S8+ using a passport:


Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition)

  • If you register using your passport, the PTA tax is approximately PKR 46,084.

  • If you register using your CNIC, it's around PKR 54,840.

Another source provides a breakdown of import taxes (alc. customs duty, sales tax, IT duty, provincial tax, mobile levy) based on the retail price of the Galaxy S20 FE (PKR 122,499), totaling approximately PKR 47,052. This figure also reflects real-world composition of taxes and is approximate.


Samsung Galaxy S8+

  • According to a detailed tax table, importing the Galaxy S8 Plus with a passport would incur PTA tax in the range of PKR 34,580 up to PKR 73,933, depending on the variant or pricing.


Summary Table

ModelWith Passport (approx.)With CNIC (approx.)
Samsung Galaxy S20 FEPKR 46,084 (or total ~47,050)*PKR 54,840
Samsung Galaxy S8+PKR 34,580 – PKR 73,933Not specified

* The slightly higher “total” figure (~PKR 47,052) covers combined duties and taxes breakdown by UrduPoint.


Registration Deadlines & Notes

  • Passport-based registration must be completed within 30 days of the phone’s arrival, whereas CNIC-based registration allows 60 days.

  • If the mobile phone is not registered within the deadline, PTA will block its SIM functionality, typically after 60 days.

  • Overseas Pakistanis may benefit from a 120-day tax-free temporary registration during short visits—check current PTA announcements for eligibility.
