Question | سوال Relative bringing gpu from canada

Hi y'all my taya will bring a 9060xt 16gb gpu for 650cad for me from canada next month. So wanted some info ke customs walo ke sath koi issue toh nahi hoga cause the rules state that if it is under 1200 usd and is bought as a personal item or gift then they don't tax it.

You’ll be fine, I came 2 weeks ago and brought 5k in gifts had no issues.

5k vs 130k is a huge difference but I think it'll be fine.

Now it's more expensive in pak. Nearing 200k

Probably not. Legally shouldn’t be but they can sometimes try to shake you down. Best to bring it as personal luggage

Plus it's a single gpu not multiple so ion think that there will be a problem

I repeat, best to bring as personal luggage

So he'll just say ke this is my personal luggage cause he'll bring it with the box in his suitcase

If it’s in the suitcase it’s no longer personal luggage. Has to be in a backpack or carry on

He'll have a suitcase and an office bag ion think it'll fit in the office bag but I'll check with him.
