What is iPhone 15 / iPhone 16 PTA tax?

Flagship iPhones like the 15 and 16 sit in the highest value band. The calculator and the model table on this page show the estimated CNIC and passport tax — verify on PTA DIRBS.

Is iPhone PTA tax cheaper on passport?

Yes, registering within the traveller grace period on a passport is generally cheaper than on a CNIC for the same device.

Does PTA tax differ by iPhone storage?

PTA tax is based on assessed value, so higher-value variants can attract more tax, but most flagship iPhones already sit in the top band. Use the value field to fine-tune.

Can I use an iPhone without PTA registration?

An unregistered imported iPhone is typically blocked from cellular networks after the grace period, though Wi-Fi still works. Register via DIRBS to keep it connected.

Are these the exact PTA rates?

No — they are estimates with placeholder device values and may exclude sales-tax-on-value. Always confirm on the official PTA DIRBS calculator.
