*Reported per-model PTA payable under separate FBR iPhone valuation rulings, not a live PTA quote. PTA tax is based on declared device value, not IMEI digits; IMEI only identifies the handset on DIRBS. Verify the exact PSID on DIRBS.
iPhones are assessed under separate FBR valuation rulings, so real PTA payable is much higher than the generic value-band slab. Figures reported from FBR iPhone valuation tables, confirm the exact PSID on DIRBS.
Tijaraat only estimates from model/C&F. For live tax / device status, use the official PTA portal, we open DIRBS and copy your IMEI so you can paste it there.
To find mobile phone IMEI, dial *#06# on mobile dialer.
Dual SIM phones show two IMEIs, check each 15-digit number separately on DIRBS (official tip: SMS each IMEI to 8484 if you use that channel).
iPhone 15 remains a common travel-import handset. Use a realistic C&F/invoice value close to your purchase price, convert to PKR, then compare passport-style vs CNIC-style estimate bands before you land.
Use the estimator to stress-test different invoice values and exchange rates, then complete registration only through official PTA channels. For commercial shipments, use a licensed customs workflow instead of personal DIRBS assumptions.
PTA tax is charged on the device's declared C&F value (not on IMEI digits or model name). IMEI is only used to check/register the device on DIRBS.
