Used Buses Import Rules & Regulations in Pakistan

rules_regulation_watermark

Right-Hand Drive Vehicles

All Buses imported must be Right Hand Drive (RHD).

The new import policy announced in 2006 allows the import of three-year-old used buses instead of two years old for the Overseas Pakistanis.
The procedure for importing a used bus is now very simple in Pakistan.

The rules and regulations governing import of Buses have been amended as follows:

  • Under the gift and personal baggage schemes, Buses up to three years old from the date of manufacturing will now be importable.
  • Under the gift scheme brothers and sisters will also be eligible, besides the parents, husband, wife and children.
  • It will no longer be required that the Buses be registered in the name of the Pakistani national prior to its import under the personal baggage or transfer of residence scheme.
  • Import of Buses is allowed in four categories. All Pakistanis can import new buses while only overseas Pakistanis can import used buses.
  • Overseas Pakistanis holding Pakistan origin card will also be eligible to import Buses under the gift, personal baggage and transfer of residence scheme. These cards are issued to Pakistanis opting for citizenship of another country or those carrying green cards like in the United States.

Used Buses Import Duties and Taxes in Pakistan

Duties and taxes

  • Import duties on new buses with a capacity of up to 1,300cc are 50 percent; buses up to 1,800cc charged 65 percent and buses of more than 1800cc pay 75 percent. The reduction in duty for used buses means effectively that a two-year-old used bus with a capacity of up to 1,300cc will be charged duty of just 2 percent. While the bulk of new buses sold in Pakistan are 1,300cc or below, the government is encouraging the import of larger luxury buses. Import duties on the largest buses have been reduced from 100 to 75 percent.

More Information

  • Under baggage rules for overseas Pakistanis, imports of used and new Buses are permitted on transfer of residence, gift to immediate relatives and for stay abroad extending beyond six months. New rules simplify procedures for these categories and remove impediments, which had resulted in many malpractices, Hamayun said. The restriction of ownership of a used bus has been done away with and the overseas Pakistanis can buy a used Bus from the market, which is less than three years old from the date of manufacturing.
  • Under gift scheme an expatriate would now be able to send the gift to brothers and sisters as well besides parents, wife and children.
  • Since left-hand drive system is in vogue in most parts of the world as against right hand in Pakistan, the ownership restriction has been dropped to facilitate import of right hand drive Buses from whatever sources these are available.
  • The government, prior to the new measures taken in the Trade Policy 2005-06, increased the depreciation allowance on used Bus imports to two from one percent in the budget 2005-06. This was designed to bridge the demand and supply gap of about 40,000 cars, which the local industry has failed to meet despite doubling production capacities.
