It doesnt work this way, Duties are based on MSRPs, every cars duty will be different, depending on the Make, Model Year & even variant.

Duty Cannot be calculated precisely without the cars Chassis # or VIN.

there is no Duty Table available anywhere online, customs office, customs agent or importer.

Solution:
Decide upon the car and get a similiar cars Chassis # and ask some importer to calculate the duty for you, theres no other PRACTICAL way.

visit FBR website - search for HS code 8703.8090
-
All the EV vehicles CBU are subject to 50% customs duty at invoice. Value.

Though there is zero compliance to EV policy for such concessions AUDI & MG are bulldozing & exploiting the facility to full extent.

The concession shall be admissible till 30th June 2026, on import of Electric Vehicles 4-wheelers (CBU)per company of the same variant to be assembled / manufactured as mentioned in column (2) of this table to the extent of maximum 100 units per company, duly approved/certified by Engineering Development Board (EDB). EDB shall monitor compliance with EV Policy 2020 and intimate FBR immediately in case of violation by any manufacturer to stop further clearance at the concessional rate, specified in column (4)..

The Invoice value will be subject to confirmation of Brand Owner in Pakistan.

there are procedures & tabulation for application of taxes for Legal imports., as per customs tariff HS code in Pakistan Customs tariffs.

using fake documentation, money laundering for smuggling vehicles does not make anybody an Importer in plain language it is known as crime partnership.

just like iranian fuel is imported without documentation via money laundering,.sold from Pishin to Gilgit. at price of local taxed fuel.

[umarmuslim]

So whats the duty for Nissan Leaf 2021 Basic Variant, if these HS Codes tell you everything you need to know ?

[umarmuslim]

Thanks for your never ending and unneeded moral policiing.

[umarmuslim]

HS Codes Mention Categories, they never mention the exact car, but some people tend to know everything.

And now they will help answer all questions in this thread.

Thank You

if the Brand Name is under umbrella of 'ASSMBLING LICENCE HOLDER' also embedded into EV policy as manufacturer the exemption applies.

For a Nissan Leaf has an standard 80KW motor with axle (duty taxes applicable under HSCODE 8501.3300) ZAA-ZE1 chassis code has 2 battery variants. So the invoice value difference is for accessory attachments & battery capacity.

please open customs tariff access chapter 8501.3200 if the vehicle brand is under EV policy there will be applicable duty exemption over the price provided by the brand owners'.

If the brand name is not under EV policy, The applicable commercial import duty over xx-kw motor will be applicable 5% to 20%, at the invoice value, other taxes will be added over & above that.
for a used old vehicle standard depreciation apply,

That is legal way. and that is how i have one running in family, bought in uk used for 1200 kms then gifted from UK it costed us 5.85 mil, with 30 kW battery. Nissan Gandhara endorsed the Invoice. However they scuttled the whole EV project due to currency disparity and Japanese concern for battery disposal policy, which does not exist in Pakistan.

otherwise ofcourse we the pakistani muslim importers have their own ways of doing crimes under loop holes. Just Like Audi & MG, with zero infra structure in place for EV vehicles.

I have GD for the vehicle, so i know exactly what am referring to.

how much CD on electric car and any other taxes or duty

sir it is plain and blanket question which can not be answered without the vehicle make model & year. the 2 senior members tried to show their teeth without asking you basic question.

which EV make & model you are referring to? a german an american a chinese or a japanese. duty tax structure may be uniform. however when applied upon invoice value as landed price the figures will be entirely different for every make and model. cheers !

[tariqazama]

Customs duty on cars above 50 kw battery and below 50 kw battery makes the real difference.

[uzeemujeeb]

PCT HS heading 8703.8090 - 50% custom duty + taxes applicable at invoice value.
misuse of loopholes is flaw in system but not a crime, penalty is applicable when it is traced.

[uzeemujeeb]

Thanks for your never ending and unneeded moral policiing

money laundering and using false documentation is crime. It is the system which has been exploited by businessmen in partnership with system runners. anyone voicing shall be appreciated unless you are among those who are partners in crime.

your website tells a tale itself.
