SRO 1064(I)/2026 updates RD structure on hundreds of imported goods with effect from July 1, 2026
ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has notified revised regulatory duty (RD) rates on imported goods for the fiscal year 2026-27 through SRO 1064(I)/2026, which came into effect on July 1, 2026.
The notification, issued on June 30, 2026, supersedes SRO 1152(I)/2025 and has been promulgated under sub-section (3) of Section 18 of the Customs Act, 1969, authorising the levy of regulatory duty on a wide range of imported products.
According to the notification, the revised regulatory duty schedule covers hundreds of tariff lines across multiple sectors, including agriculture, food products, chemicals, plastics, textiles, steel, machinery, ceramics, glassware, paper products, electrical appliances and various industrial and consumer goods.
The updated regulatory duty rates range from 0.8% to 20%, depending on the product category. In addition, certain imported goods are subject to specific fixed duties instead of ad valorem rates, while some products carry different duty rates based on their respective Pakistan Customs Tariff (PCT) classifications.
Among agricultural imports, the revised schedule imposes regulatory duties on live animals, poultry, fish, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, cereals, processed food items, edible oils, confectionery, beverages and tobacco products. Duty rates on these products generally range between 4% and 20%, with higher rates applicable to selected imported fruits, processed foods and luxury food items.
The notification also revises regulatory duties on industrial raw materials and intermediate goods, including chemicals, plastics, rubber products, paper, packaging materials, textiles, garments, footwear, iron and steel products, aluminium products, ceramics, glass and construction materials.
A broad range of consumer products—including cosmetics, toiletries, kitchenware, luggage, furniture-related items and household appliances—will continue to attract regulatory duty under the updated schedule.
The FBR clarified that the revised duties apply to imports falling under the specified Pakistan Customs Tariff (PCT) codes listed in the notification. Importers will be required to pay the applicable regulatory duty on consignments cleared on or after July 1, 2026.
The revised regulatory duty regime forms part of the government’s customs tariff measures for FY2026-27 and is aimed at regulating imports, supporting domestic industries where necessary and strengthening revenue collection.
