These non-custom paid vehicles are imported from Japan to Afghanistan and then brought into Pakistan. Typically, these cars are sold at a 50% discount compared to the regular showroom prices. Since Gilgit Baltistan is a tax-free zone, dealers find it easier to sell these cars without paying import duties. If you live in Swat, Malakand, FATA, or GB, you can take advantage of purchasing these luxurious vehicles at a fraction of their actual cost. Keep in mind that these cars are illegal and not allowed to be driven outside specific zones.
