Pakistan Ends 5-Year Used Car Import Limit | Will Car Prices Drop in 2026?

Pakistan has removed the five-year age limit on the commercial import of used vehicles, opening the door for older Japanese and other foreign cars to enter the Pakistani market. But will this major change in Pakistan's car import policy actually make cars cheaper in 2026? In this detailed report, we examine Pakistan's latest used car import policy, the government's October 30, 2026 clarification, import duties, regulatory taxes, and the possible impact on local car prices and Pakistan's automobile industry. The Ministry of Commerce has confirmed that the five-year age restriction on commercial imports of used vehicles no longer applies from July 1, 2026. However, importers must still meet applicable safety, environmental, inspection, and regulatory requirements. The government has also introduced a phased reduction in additional regulatory duties on commercial used vehicle imports. Despite this change, industry representatives believe that imported car prices may not fall immediately because of existing taxes and import costs. *Key Questions Answered in This Video:* What is Pakistan's new used car import policy in 2026?

The removal of the age limit could give Pakistani buyers access to a wider selection of imported vehicles.
