The iPhone 14 PTA tax for 2026-27 is about Rs 40,431 on passport and Rs 45,431 on CNIC (filer) for the 128GB model, using FBR’s value of US$490 for a new iPhone 14 at Rs 277 to the dollar. The 14 Pro Max 256GB (US$891) is about Rs 95,300 on passport and Rs 106,800 on CNIC as a filer, and every 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max storage size is in the table below. Used iPhone 14 phones imported commercially are valued far lower (US$275 to US$413 since April 2026), but that does not apply when you register a phone yourself.

iPhone 14 PTA tax for every model
The FY2026-27 rates took effect on 1 July 2026. A phone valued above US$700 pays 25% sales tax on its rupee value, Rs 17,600 regulatory duty and a Rs 16,000 mobile handset levy. CNIC registration adds Rs 11,500 income tax for filers (Rs 23,000 for non-filers). The passport route has no income tax.
| Model | FBR value (US$) | Passport | CNIC, filer | CNIC, non-filer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 14 128GB | 490 | Rs 40,431 | Rs 45,431 | Rs 50,431 |
| iPhone 14 256GB | 613 | Rs 68,050 | Rs 79,550 | Rs 91,050 |

| iPhone 14 Pro Max 1TB | 1,161 | Rs 113,999 | Rs 125,499 | Rs 136,999 |
All values are from FBR’s Valuation Ruling No. 1999/2025 for new iPhones (23 April 2025), also reported by PK Revenue and listed in full by Times of Karachi. The iPhone 14 128GB (US$490) stays under US$500, so it pays 18% sales tax, Rs 12,000 duty and a Rs 4,000 levy; every other version crosses US$500, which is why the 256GB costs about Rs 27,600 more. Rs 277 is close to the interbank close of Rs 276.95 on 14 October 2026 (Mettis Global).
Turn the WeBOC value into rupees
To confirm, enter your IMEI on FBR’s Mobile Device Duty Information page. If it shows a value close to one of these, the tax will be close to the matching row (Rs 277 per dollar).
| FBR value (US$) | Passport | CNIC, filer |
|---|---|---|
| 450 | Rs 38,437 | Rs 43,437 |
| 600 | Rs 67,150 | Rs 78,650 |
| 700 | Rs 74,075 | Rs 85,575 |
| 800 | Rs 89,000 | Rs 100,500 |
| 900 | Rs 95,925 | Rs 107,425 |
| 1,000 | Rs 102,850 | Rs 114,350 |

iPhone 14 Pro Max PTA tax: the working
The iPhone 14 Pro Max PTA tax is the most searched figure in this family, so here is the full calculation for the 256GB model.
- Value in rupees: US$891 × 277 = Rs 246,807.
- Sales tax at 25%: Rs 61,702.
- Regulatory duty Rs 17,600 plus handset levy Rs 16,000: total Rs 95,302 on passport.
- CNIC filer: add Rs 11,500 to reach Rs 106,802. Non-filer: add Rs 23,000 to reach Rs 118,302.
Each one-rupee move in the dollar rate shifts the 14 Pro Max passport tax by about Rs 223. FBR uses the rate on the day the PSID is generated, so DIRBS may differ slightly.
iPhone 14 Pro PTA tax and 14 Plus PTA tax
The iPhone 14 Pro PTA tax starts at about Rs 83,529 on passport for 128GB (US$721) and reaches about Rs 106,797 for 1TB. The iPhone 14 Plus PTA tax runs from about Rs 68,466 (128GB, US$619) to Rs 90,593 (512GB). The 14 Plus 128GB and 256GB sit in the US$501 to 700 bracket, where the handset levy is Rs 8,000 instead of Rs 16,000.
Used iPhone 14 values changed twice in 2026
FBR’s customs valuation directorate in Karachi revised the values for used phones imported in commercial quantities, without boxes or accessories, that were activated at least six months before export.
| Model (used, commercial import) | 16 Jan 2026 ruling | April 2026 ruling (current) |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 14 Pro Max | US$360 | US$413 |
| iPhone 14 Pro | US$290 | US$350 |
| iPhone 14 | US$210 | US$275 |
| iPhone 14 Plus | Not in reported lists | Not in reported lists |
The January values (Valuation Ruling 2035/2026) were reported by Dawn. That ruling was rescinded on 3 April 2026 and replaced with higher values, reported by ProPakistani and The Express Tribune. These values explain why dealers can sell used, already-approved iPhone 14 units for less than a buyer would pay to register one. They do not lower your own DIRBS bill: PTA told the Senate in August 2026 that registration does not separate new and used phones.
PTA iPhone 14 Pro Max or non-PTA iPhone 17?
This comes up often on Reddit and Facebook groups. The fair way to compare is total cost: a PTA iPhone 14 Pro Max has no tax left to pay, while a non-PTA iPhone 17 needs registration before it works on a Pakistani SIM beyond the grace period.
| Point | PTA-approved iPhone 14 Pro Max (used) | Non-PTA iPhone 17 |
|---|---|---|
| Tax still due | None | Check by IMEI (no FBR value published; PhoneWorld lists Rs 149,640 passport, unverified) |
| Released | September 2022 | September 2025 |
| Chip | A16 Bionic | A19 |
| Display | 6.7-inch, 120Hz ProMotion | 6.3-inch, 120Hz ProMotion |
| Cameras | 48MP main, ultra wide, 3x telephoto | 48MP main, 48MP ultra wide, no telephoto |
| Battery condition | Used; check battery health | New if bought new |
| Software support left | Shorter | Several more years |
The iPhone 17 tax figure comes from PhoneWorld (updated 8 July 2026). We could not find a published FBR value for the iPhone 17, and PhoneWorld’s numbers cannot be rebuilt from the FY2026-27 formula, so treat them as a rough guide only. Our iPhone 17 Pro Max PTA tax page covers the Pro models.
The 14 Pro Max makes sense if you want a large screen and a telephoto lens at the lowest total cost, and you can confirm battery health and PTA status on both IMEIs. The iPhone 17 makes sense if you can register it on passport within 60 days of arrival, or have a relative bring it, and you plan to keep it for many years. Buying a non-PTA 17 and using it on CNIC as a non-filer is the most expensive path.
A third option is a non-PTA phone used only on Wi-Fi. It works, but you lose calls and mobile data on Pakistani SIMs, and resale value is low. Before buying any used iPhone, go through our used iPhone buying guide.
How to register an iPhone 14 on DIRBS
- Dial *#06# and note both IMEIs. iPhone 14 models sold in the US are eSIM-only, so check which version you have.
- Check the tax for the first IMEI on WeBOC.
- On DIRBS, choose passport (within 60 days of arrival) or CNIC registration.
- Generate the PSID and pay it through your bank app, JazzCash or Easypaisa.
- Restart with your SIM. Status normally updates within 24 to 48 hours.
Visitors can use free temporary registration for 120 days. Instalments were approved in the Finance Act 2026 but were not available as of August 2026. See the full PTA tax guide for the bracket rules, or the iPhone 13 Pro Max PTA tax page if you are considering an older model.
Common mistakes
- Using a used-phone customs value (US$275 to US$413) to estimate your own registration.
- Trusting a listed price without checking the IMEI on WeBOC.
- Paying on CNIC while still eligible for the passport route.
- Buying a US eSIM-only iPhone 14 without checking that your network supports eSIM.
