Full details
Professional Camera is generally allowed for personal-use carriage into Pakistan. Federal Board of Revenue — Pakistan Customs treats single-unit personal effects as routine; no declaration required unless quantities suggest commercial intent (typically 5+ identical units). ASEAN AFTA / RCEP preferential treatment for member-state goods. Cultural-property export rules vary sharply by destination. Personal-import duty-free threshold is 10000 PKR; carriage above the threshold attracts duty + 18% VAT.
Leaving Pakistan with professional camera
Personal-use professional camera equipment may be taken out of Pakistan without export formalities. High-value kits carried for professional work may warrant registering serial numbers with customs before departure (or an ATA Carnet for commercial gear) so the equipment re-enters duty-free on return. Some destinations require permits for professional filming equipment on arrival.
Walk the Green Channel for single-unit personal effects. For multiple units or high-value items, declare at Red Channel + present purchase receipts. Federal Board of Revenue — Pakistan Customs publishes the current personal-allowance schedule at https://www.fbr.gov.pk/.
