Planning to import a used Japanese car into Pakistan? Before you ship your vehicle, it helps to know roughly how much duty and tax you will pay at the port. ESA Japan Cars built this free Japan Car Import Duty Calculator Pakistan so you can estimate your Pakistan Customs (FBR) charges in minutes, based on your car’s engine capacity, age, and whether it is a hybrid.
How Pakistan Customs Duty on Japanese Cars is Calculated
Overseas Pakistanis can bring in a used vehicle under three FBR schemes: Personal Baggage, Gift, and Transfer of Residence. Cars must not be older than 3 years, and duty is charged as a fixed US dollar amount based on engine capacity, reduced by 1% for every month of the car’s age. Hybrid Electric Vehicles get an extra 50% exemption up to 1800cc, or 25% between 1800cc and 2500cc. Use the calculator below to get an instant estimate.
Japan Car Import Duty Calculator
Estimate your Pakistan Customs (FBR) duty & taxes for a used Japanese vehicle imported under the Personal Baggage, Gift, or Transfer of Residence scheme.
Based on FBR’s published duty & tax schedule for old/used Asian-make vehicles (not older than 3 years) imported under the Personal Baggage / Gift / Transfer of Residence schemes, with 1% per month depreciation and applicable Hybrid Electric Vehicle exemptions. This tool provides an estimate only; final duty is assessed by Pakistan Customs. Vehicles above 1800cc, non-Asian makes, or commercial imports follow a different structure – contact us for an exact quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to import a car under these schemes?
You’ll need proof of eligibility such as your passport and overseas residence proof, plus the vehicle’s ownership and registration documents, and you must qualify under the Personal Baggage, Gift, or Transfer of Residence scheme depending on your situation.
Can I import a car older than 3 years?
No. Cars must not be older than 3 years, and other vehicles not older than 5 years, to qualify for import under the Personal Baggage, Gift, or Transfer of Residence schemes.
Does this calculator cover vehicles above 1800cc?
Not yet. Vehicles above 1800cc, non-Asian makes, or commercial imports follow a different duty structure. Contact ESA Japan Cars directly and we will work out an accurate quote for you.
Is the result from this calculator final?
No, this tool provides an estimate only. The final duty and tax amount is assessed by Pakistan Customs at the time of clearance, so treat the calculator as a planning guide rather than an official figure.
