PTA tax on a Galaxy S24 Ultra is about Rs 127,914 on passport and Rs 157,396 on CNIC for a filer, at Samsung's US launch price of US$1,299.99 for 256GB. Switch between passport and CNIC in the calculator to compare the routes.
FBR's used-phone ruling of April 2026 lists Samsung phones only up to the S23 Ultra (see the S23 Ultra PTA tax), valued at US$305. No FBR ruling lists the S24 Ultra, new or used. A phone launched in January 2024 is unlikely to be valued at its full launch price in 2026, so read these figures as the top of the range.

What a lower value would mean
Because the value is the unknown here, it helps to see the tax at a few values on passport:
| Value | Slab | Passport tax |
|---|---|---|
| US$1,299.99 (launch) | Above US$700 | Rs 127,914 |
| US$701 | Above US$700 | Rs 86,485 |
| US$700 | US$500 to 700 | Rs 78,416 |
| US$500 | US$350 to 500 | Rs 43,059 |
| US$305 (S23 Ultra used value) | US$200 to 350 | Rs 27,373 |
Note the jump at US$700, where the levy doubles to Rs 16,000, and the bigger one at US$500, where sales tax rises from 18% to 25%. Once DIRBS shows the value it used, type it into the calculator under "Enter value in US$" to check the PSID.

Passport or CNIC for the S24 Ultra
On CNIC a filer pays Rs 157,396 instead of Rs 127,914 on passport: Rs 14,386 additional customs duty, higher sales tax of Rs 97,910 because the duty is taxed too, and Rs 11,500 withholding tax. A non-filer pays Rs 23,000 withholding tax, taking the CNIC total to about Rs 168,896.
So if you are bringing the phone in yourself, register it on your passport within 60 days of arrival. The newer S25 Ultra PTA tax page has figures for each storage size. The regular model has its own page: the S24 PTA tax from Samsung's US$799.99 launch price.

Galaxy S24 Ultra PTA tax questions
How much is S24 Ultra PTA tax on passport?
About Rs 127,914 if FBR uses the US$1,299.99 launch price. That is Rs 17,600 regulatory duty, Rs 94,314 sales tax at 25% and a Rs 16,000 levy. A lower FBR value would lower the sales tax part.
How much is S24 Ultra PTA tax on CNIC?
About Rs 157,396 for a filer and Rs 168,896 for a non-filer at the launch-price value. CNIC adds 4% additional customs duty and withholding tax of Rs 11,500, doubled for non-filers.
Is the S24 Ultra in FBR's used phone valuation list?
Not in Ruling 2070/2026 of April 2026. That list stops at the Galaxy S23 Ultra, S23+ and S23. Customs sets a value for unlisted models itself, so check the figure on your PSID.
Worked at the 2026-27 rates and Rs 276.66 per dollar (State Bank, 6 November 2026). No FBR valuation ruling lists the S24 Ultra, so Samsung's US launch price stands in as the value. Your DIRBS PSID is the amount you pay.
