Pakistan’s imported car market could be entering one of its biggest transitions in years. <\/span>The amended Finance Bill 2026 introduces significant reductions in customs duties on imported vehicles, lowering import taxes across almost every engine category below 2,000cc. For thousands of buyers who have delayed purchasing a Japanese imported vehicle or are comparing local and imported options, this policy could reshape prices, competition, and long-term ownership costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, there’s an important catch. <\/span>While customs duties have been reduced substantially, larger engine vehicles above 2,000cc will still face newly introduced excise duties that partially offset those savings. That means not every imported vehicle will become cheaper. <\/span>Here’s everything Pakistani buyers should know before making their next purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n

New Customs Duty Structure Under Finance Bill 2026<\/b><\/h2>\n

At first glance, these reductions appear dramatic, particularly for vehicles between 1,800cc and 3,000cc, where customs duties have effectively been cut in half. <\/span>But buyers shouldn’t stop reading there.<\/span><\/p>\n
