International travelers can get their phones seized at airports
ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Revenues Hammad Azhar said on Tuesday that the government allowed only one duty free mobile phone set for people traveling from abroad into Pakistan under the new policy and all seized phones would be auctioned.
The FBR’s Customs authorities are registering mobile phones under the newly placed system known as Device Identification Registration and Blocking System (DIRBS).
Any passenger travelling from abroad if possessed 5 mobile phones while traveling into the country can get one phone without paying taxes but he will have to register and pay duty/taxes on remaining four imported phones. If he
did not register, the mobile devices could not be activated within the country because of restrictions slapped by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).
Citing an example, the official sources said that on import of a phone with price value of Rs24218, the FBR was supposed to collect Rs10969 in shape of all duty and taxes.
