Why iPhone 16 Pro Max is Expensive in Nepal
Many buyers ask why the iPhone 16 Pro Max price in Nepal is Rs. 62,000 more than the US price.
First, Nepal charges 13% VAT plus customs duty and excise on phones above $800. Second, there is no official Apple Store, so products come through Generation Next, the national distributor. Third, the Nepali rupee is weak against the dollar at around 135.
Even with taxes, the current Nepal price is competitive with India after you add the free screen replacements.
