Registering the iPhone 15 Pro Max on your Passport costs Rs 116,933, while the CNIC route costs Rs 128,433, which is Rs 11,500 more because it includes income tax.
You can pay the Passport amount only if you brought the phone into Pakistan yourself and register it within 60 days of arrival. If you bought it in Pakistan, it was sent to you, or the 60 days have passed, you pay the CNIC amount, and a late fine may also apply.
Both amounts are estimates based on the iPhone 15 Pro Max's US launch price and the rates from 1 July 2026. FBR sets the final amount from the assessed value of your exact phone, so confirm it with FBR's official IMEI duty lookup before paying.

No, it is an estimate: it applies the 1 July 2026 rates to the iPhone 15 Pro Max's US launch price. FBR sets the final amount from the assessed value of your exact phone, so check it in DIRBS before paying.
Yes. From the Finance Act 2026, tax on a phone registered through PTA's DIRBS can be paid in instalments, as long as everything is paid before the end of the financial year in which the phone was imported.
An unregistered iPhone 15 Pro Max is blocked from Pakistani mobile networks, so calls, SMS and mobile data stop working with a local SIM. It still works on Wi-Fi.
Dial *#06# to get its IMEI, then check it with the Sellphone.pk IMEI checker or by sending the IMEI to 8484.
