June 6, 2026
ISLAMABAD: The federal government is considering significant customs duty reductions on
imported beauty products, skincare materials, and fitness equipment as part of the
upcoming Budget 2026-27, sources revealed.
According to informed sources, authorities are reviewing Customs Notifications 1151 and
1152 with a proposal to reduce import duties by an additional 2 percent to 5 percent on a
range of products used by beauty Parlors, skincare clinics, health clubs, and fitness centres.
The proposed tariff relief is aimed at lowering operating costs for businesses in the beauty,
wellness, and fitness sectors while making imported products and equipment more
affordable.
Sources said customs duties on imported makeup raw materials used by beauty salons may
be reduced from 44 percent to 40 percent. Similar duty cuts are also being considered for
sunscreen products, sunblock formulations, and raw materials used in hair treatment and
care services.
Men’s grooming products may also benefit from the proposed measures. Duties on imported
shaving creams, aftershave lotions, and related salon products could be reduced from 40
percent to 35 percent.
Likewise, customs duties on face washes, soaps, and other beauty salon inputs are expected
to be lowered from 40 percent to 35 percent under the new tariff structure.
Skincare clinics could also receive substantial relief. Sources indicated that import duties on
creams, lotions, and products used in skin treatment procedures, including facial polishing
and cosmetic care services, may be reduced from 40 percent to 35 percent.
