According to the newly established regulations, all previously owned and used mobile phones must have been activated for a minimum of six months before being exported to Pakistan.
Importers are further obligated to declare the activation duration, which will be confirmed by the relevant assessing officers from the appropriate Collectorate.
For brands or models that are imported in bulk but are not explicitly mentioned in the ruling, clearance Collectorates have been instructed to evaluate customs values in accordance with Sections 25(5) and 25(6) of the Customs Act of 1969.
In the past, customs values for used mobile phones were set based on Valuation Ruling No. 2035/2026, which was subsequently contested before the Director General under Section 25D of the Customs Act.
By means of Order-in-Revision No. 05/2026, dated April 3, 2026, the previous ruling was annulled with particular instructions.
