Islamabad - The new import policy announced last week has brought some good news for overseas Pakistanis. It has allowed the import of used cars, which are three years old as against present policy, which restricts it to two years. At the same time procedures for such imports have been rationalised and simplified.
To facilitate Pakistanis residing abroad the rules governing import of vehicles have been amended as follows:
(i) Under the gift and personal baggage schemes, vehicles up to three years old will now be importable.
(ii) Under the gift scheme brothers and sisters will also be eligible, besides the parents, husband, wife and children.
(iii) It will no longer be required that the vehicle be registered in the name of the Pakistani national prior to its import under the personal baggage or transfer of residence scheme.
(iv) Overseas Pakistanis holding Pakistan origin card will also be eligible to import vehicles under the gift, personal baggage and transfer of residence scheme. These cards are issued to Pakistanis opting for citizenship of another country or those carrying ‘green cards’ like in the United States.
Although most of the forum new these rules by now but there are so many qurries at the forum regarding this..so i thought it would be appropriate to affix this item for info n comments please..
thanx to all
