Pakistan Announces Increased PTA Registration Fees for Google Pixel 9 Models

 

The FBR’s recently published directory of customs valuations for importing pre-owned smartphones has raised PTA duties for traders bringing hardware into Pakistan. This adjustment affects not only Samsung and Apple handsets but also OnePlus and Google equipment.

Having previously discussed the updated PTA levies for Samsung and Apple devices in Pakistan, we are now focusing on alternative manufacturers. Beginning with the Google Pixel 9 series, we shall examine the difference between previous and current PTA fees applied during importation.

While the collection features a Google Pixel 9a, that specific model was omitted from the FBR’s official hardware list. Below is a comparison of the tax rates from the January 2026 revision versus the latest figures.
