Pakistan is RHD. Personal baggage (gift / transfer of residence) historically allowed cars up to 3 years (other categories up to 5) under the Import Policy Order. Commercial import of used vehicles was opened with an age cap of under 5 years until 30 June 2026, with extra regulatory duty (FBR SRO 1898(I)/2025: 40% RD on commercial used in that window).
