In its latest statement regarding tax policy reforms, the FBR updated the definition of a tourist. A computerized system will be employed by Pakistan Customs for monitoring information pertaining to the temporary importation of motor vehicles.

According to a recent notification by authorities both FIA and Customs have been instructed to intensify their monitoring of temporary vehicle imports through a new computerized surveillance system.

The import of vehicles should not be exploited by foreigners and migrants as per the FBR.
When tourists import vehicles on a temporary basis their passports will be connected to the accompanying car documents.
