New Google Pixel 9 PTA Tax in Pakistan 2026
New Increased PTA Taxes For Google Pixel 9 Series in Pakistan
Google Pixel 9 PTA Tax in Pakistan Increased After New FBR Custom Values
FBR’s latest customs valuation update has increased the PTA tax on several imported smartphones in Pakistan, including models from Samsung, Apple, OnePlus, and Google Pixel. After the recent changes, the Google Pixel 9 series is now more expensive to register with PTA, especially for users registering their phones through CNIC.
According to the latest update, the revised values apply to old and used imported smartphones. The new rates are based on updated customs values listed for Google Pixel devices, including the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. The Pixel 9a, however, has not been included in the latest FBR list. FBR’s updated list under Valuation Ruling No. 2076 of 2026 includes Pixel 9 at $215, Pixel 9 Pro at $290, and Pixel 9 Pro XL at $348.
New Google Pixel 9 PTA Tax in Pakistan 2026
The new PTA tax rates show a clear increase compared to the January 2026 figures. Buyers importing Google Pixel 9 series phones will now have to pay higher registration charges on both CNIC and Passport.
| Model | Old Tax on CNIC January 2026 | Old Tax on Passport January 2026 | New Tax on CNIC April 2026 | New Tax on Passport April 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Pixel 9 | Rs. 19,721 | Rs. 17,740 | Rs. 27,297 | Rs. 24,836 |
| Google Pixel 9 Pro | Rs. 21,989 | Rs. 20,008 | Rs. 31,077 | Rs. 28,616 |
| Google Pixel 9 Pro XL | Rs. 29,565 | Rs. 27,104 | Rs. 34,000 | Rs. 31,539 |
The biggest increase is seen on the Google Pixel 9 Pro, where the CNIC-based PTA tax has jumped from Rs. 21,989 to Rs. 31,077. The Pixel 9 has also seen a major rise, with its CNIC tax increasing from Rs. 19,721 to Rs. 27,297.
Google Pixel 9 Series Custom Values Updated
The increase in PTA tax is directly linked to the revised custom values issued for old and used Google Pixel phones. Higher custom values usually result in higher payable tax at the time of PTA registration.
| Model | Old Custom Value January 2026 | New Custom Value April 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Google Pixel 9 | $150 | $215 |
| Google Pixel 9 Pro | $195 | $290 |
| Google Pixel 9 Pro XL | $265 | $348 |
The Google Pixel 9 Pro received the largest custom value increase, moving from $195 to $290. Pixel 9 Pro XL also moved up from $265 to $348, while the standard Pixel 9 increased from $150 to $215.
What This Means for Pixel Buyers in Pakistan
For buyers planning to import a Google Pixel 9 series phone, the total cost of ownership has now increased. A non-PTA Pixel may still look cheaper at first, but the updated tax rates should be added before making a buying decision.
The difference between CNIC and Passport registration also remains important. Passport-based registration is still cheaper, but it is only available under specific travel-related conditions. CNIC registration continues to cost more for all three Pixel 9 models.
Why Pixel 9a Is Not Listed
Although the Google Pixel 9 lineup also includes the Pixel 9a, it does not appear in the latest FBR valuation list shared for these devices. This means there is no confirmed revised PTA tax figure for the Pixel 9a under this specific update.
Final Words
The latest FBR update has made Google Pixel 9 PTA registration more expensive in Pakistan. The new taxes affect the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL, with both CNIC and Passport rates increasing compared to January 2026.
Anyone planning to buy an imported Pixel 9 series phone should check the latest PTA payable amount before purchase, as the final cost can change depending on the registration method and applicable exchange rate at the time of clearance.
