flag Pakistan enacts stricter used car import rules to protect local auto industry amid surge in imports.

flag Pakistan is introducing stricter rules to limit used car imports, requiring vehicles to have at least three years of overseas residency and one year of registration under the owner’s name. flag The government will enforce pre-shipment inspections and updated valuations to ensure safety, quality, and fair competition. flag These measures, directed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, aim to protect local auto manufacturers, who are operating at just 35% capacity, and prevent unfair trade practices. flag The reforms follow concerns that unchecked imports, which surged to nearly 22,000 units between July and November 2025, threaten domestic production, jobs, and investment.
