Karachi Customs has raised the import valuation on 62 models of used mobile phones, affecting major brands and making them more expensive in Pakistan. This adjustment is part of a broader effort to regulate the market and increase revenue from PTA taxes.
The decision has sparked concern among consumers and retailers alike, as the higher costs could lead to decreased demand for imported devices. The valuation changes reflect ongoing challenges in the mobile phone sector, further complicating access to affordable technology for the public.
