SN015·Sale of mobile phones
Sector-specificDistribution relevant
Sale type
Mobile PhonesSubmit this string verbatim. FBR compares the sale type literally — a normalised, retyped, or re-cased variant is rejected even when everything else on the line is correct.
What it covers
Mobile phone supplies, which FBR treats separately because the tax structure depends on the device's value band rather than a single percentage.
Who needs to test this
Most business activities — this scenario appears broadly, not only for electronics specialists.
Payload notes
- The rate depends on the handset's value band, so the correct rate varies line by line within one invoice.
- HS codes must be the handset classifications.
Common pitfalls
- Applying a single rate across a mixed-value handset catalogue fails on the lines that fall in other bands.
