PTA tax on a Samsung Galaxy S24 is about Rs 93,349 on passport and Rs 115,919 on CNIC for a filer, at Samsung's US launch price of US$799.99 for the 128GB model. A non-filer on CNIC pays about Rs 127,419.
This page covers the regular S24, not the Ultra. FBR's used-phone ruling 2070/2026 lists Samsung's S series only up to the S23, and its last ruling for new non-Apple phones (1834/2023) is dated 6 December 2023, before the S24 was launched on 17 January 2024. With no FBR value for the S24, customs assess the value shown on your PSID.

|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S24, 128GB | US$799.99 | Rs 93,349 | Rs 115,919 |
| Galaxy S24 Ultra, 256GB | US$1,299.99 | Rs 127,943 | Rs 157,432 |
Both phones are in the top slab, so they pay the same Rs 17,600 regulatory duty and the same levy. The Ultra's higher price shows up only in sales tax and, on CNIC, in the 4% additional customs duty. The S24 Ultra PTA tax page has its own breakdown, and the OnePlus 13 PTA tax page covers a rival at US$899.99.
If customs take a lower value
The launch price is a starting point, not FBR's figure. If your PSID shows a lower value, the bill falls, and below US$700 the levy halves. For reference, FBR values a used Galaxy S23 at US$250 in its April 2026 ruling.
| Value on the PSID | Passport | CNIC, filer |
|---|---|---|
| US$250 | Rs 24,638 | Rs 28,874 |
| US$500 | Rs 43,068 | Rs 54,599 |
| US$700 | Rs 78,431 | Rs 99,618 |
| US$799.99 (launch) | Rs 93,349 | Rs 115,919 |

Does a used S24 pay less PTA tax?

Figures assume Samsung's US$799.99 launch price for the 128GB S24, the 2026-27 rates and Rs 276.75 to the dollar (State Bank, 30 October 2026). The PSID that DIRBS issues is the amount you pay.
