The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has changed the customs valuation system for imported auto parts, replacing the weight-based method with a new system based on vehicle type and engine capacity.
According to FBR, under Valuation Ruling No. 2092 of 2026, new customs values have been set for various parts, including water pumps, oil pumps, fuel pumps, in-tank fuel pumps, oil filters, fuel filters, and air filters.
The new ruling replaces the 2019 valuation framework, which had remained in force for more than six years.
According to media reports, the change was introduced following requests from industry stakeholders, who argued that auto parts are identified and traded according to vehicle model and engine size rather than weight.
The FBR finalized the revised system after consultations with the Pakistan Automobile Spare Parts Importers and Dealers Association (PASPIDA), Indus Motor Company, and other importers, along with a review of import data, market surveys, and prevailing prices.
A separate category has also been introduced for in-tank fuel pumps. Customs authorities said the new valuation method is intended to ensure fair, transparent, and market-based customs assessments for imported auto parts.
The revised valuation mechanism is aimed to streamline the customs clearance process and reduce disputes over the assessment of imported auto parts. Officials said the updated framework better reflects current market practices and is designed to achieve greater transparency, consistency, and accuracy in determining customs values.
