Karachi Customs has revised upward the import valuation on 62 models of used mobile phones across Apple, Samsung, Google Pixel, Sharp and OnePlus brands through new Valuation Ruling 2070/2026, replacing the earlier ruling. The new values apply regardless of grade or condition of used phones, and phones must have been activated at least 6 months prior to export to Pakistan. The revision followed a successful legal challenge by local manufacturers against the previous valuation ruling. For PSX investors, higher customs valuations on used phones protect local mobile assemblers and manufacturers listed on PSX. This is positive for Pakistan's growing mobile assembly sector and discourages grey market imports. Telecom sector indirectly benefits from a push toward newer devices. However, consumers seeking affordable used smartphones face higher costs. Companies in the local mobile assembly and technology distribution space stand to gain from reduced competition from cheaper imported used phones. کراچی کسٹمز نے ایپل، سام سنگ، گوگل پکسل سمیت 62 ماڈلز کے پرانے موبائل فونز کی درآمدی ویلیویشن بڑھا دی۔ نئی ویلیویشن رولنگ 2070/2026 جاری کر دی گئی، مقامی اسمبلرز کو فائدہ ہوگا۔ #PSX #KSE100 #MobilePhones #Customs #Pakistan #TechSector #Apple #Samsung #LocalAssembly
