Ever dreamed of driving your own foreign car in Pakistan? Maybe you’ve been desiring a sleek Toyota or perhaps a fuel-efficient hybrid for the busy city streets. Whatever your dream ride looks like, the thought of actually importing a car to Pakistan might seem like a distant fantasy complicated by taxes, paperwork, and endless rules. But here’s the truth: it’s not as hard as it seems once you know the steps.

This method permits you to import a car and gift it to immediate family members, such as parents, siblings, or children (but not those under 18). This scheme also requires same documents as other two plans.
