Destino de exportación — PAKISTÁN

Import cars from China to Pakistan with EV-first incentives and Karachi port routing.
Pakistan's vehicle market is transforming. Government policy is now laser-focused on electric vehicles — with sharply reduced duties on EV imports and local assembly — while domestic assembly of legacy petrol cars remains costly. Chinese EVs (BYD, MG, Changan, Wuling) and hybrids are therefore the most rational imports for dealers, fleet operators, and increasingly private buyers. Vehicles arrive through the Ports of Karachi (KICT/PICT), carrying all-in duty structures that strongly favour battery-electric drivetrains. Cargration specialises in compliant EV sourcing, battery verification, and Karachi customs support.

Pakistán: tres vías legales para importar vehículos
Pakistan's vehicle market is transforming. Government policy is now laser-focused on electric vehicles — with sharply reduced duties on EV imports and local assembly — while domestic assembly of legacy petrol cars remains costly
- EVs pay substantially lower customs duty
- Reduced/zero additional customs duty on EVs
- Sales tax concessions for battery-electric imports
- No age-quota restrictions typical of petrol imports
- Used EVs under age policy import alongside new
- Documents: invoice, certificate of origin, bill of lading
- DC/AC conformity and NEPRA registration required
The practical result: a BYD Seal or Atto 3 lands costing far less in total tax than an equally-priced petrol SUV, while qualifying for clean-energy status.
Calculadora de aranceles
Pakistán: estima tus aranceles de importación
Pakistani Customs applies customs duty plus sales tax, with Additional Customs Duty and withholding on CIF value (Cost + Insurance + Freight). The decisive factor is drivetrain: imported EVs pay markedly lower duty than petrol cars and fewer extra duties, while large-engine petrol/CNG vehicles face the heaviest burden. Imported used petrol vehicles are heavily restricted (age caps and quota), which is why the EV route is the dependable lane.

Preguntas frecuentes — PAKISTÁN
Pakistán: preguntas frecuentes sobre exportación
EVs pay a substantially reduced customs duty with sales-tax concessions and reduced additional duties — typically landing a large portion cheaper in total tax than an equivalent petrol car.
Yes under restricted schemes, but the age caps and annual quotas plus high additional duties make it far less dependable than the EV route. Check the current SRO before ordering.
Pakistan drives on the left and RHD is the standard. We source RHD Chinese models for Pakistan-bound orders to match local registration.
BYD (Atto 3, Dolphin, Seal), MG (ZS EV), Changan and Wuling lead EV demand; Haval and Chery hybrids also gain ground.
32-42 days door to door from Shanghai to Karachi, depending on RoRo vs container routing.
Yes. Individuals with CNIC/NTN may import EVs under the reduced-duty regime, subject to conformity and registration requirements.
Commercial invoice, certificate of origin, bill of lading, battery/EV conformity, NTN/CNIC, NEPRA compliance, and duty/sales-tax receipts.
Yes — on total import cost, running cost, and fuel security. EVs are increasingly the rational choice for distance work and fleets.
Yes. Used EVs ship with a battery SoH report and conformity certificate to support duty and warranty claims.
Yes. Authorised and registered dealers (EDB/FBR) access factory allocations, consolidated containers, and simplified EV documentation.
Hybrids enjoy better duty bands than petrol but worse than pure EV. They remain a good middle path for buyers wanting range without charging dependence.
We connect partner dealers to Chinese OEM factory allocations and provide the consolidated import backbone that assembly partners rely on.
