When allowances combine
-
Husband and wife traveling together each receive their own separate duty-free allowance rather than a single combined one. Allowances are not admissible for goods that were not shipped from the country where the passenger resided before arriving in Pakistan, or that do not reach Pakistan within 60 days of the passenger's arrival. Crew members receive no duty-free or dutiable allowance beyond items already in their personal use.
