Pakistan Removes Five-Year Cap on Used Vehicle Imports

Pakistan has removed the five-year age limit on commercial used vehicle imports, effective July 1, 2026, subject to other import rules and standards. These are shipments of vehicles that have already been driven and are brought in to be sold, and the five-year cap was the rule that limited how old those vehicles could be.

The limit that has been removed is five years of age. The start date is July 1, 2026. The rest of the import rules and standards still apply. The update does not list those remaining standards or a duty rate.

What changes for used vehicle imports
