Frequently Asked Questions

What is the import duty for used cars in the UAE?

Around 5% customs duty plus 5% VAT. GCC nationals and free-zone operations may qualify for reliefs — confirm with your broker.

Can I import a left-hand-drive car to the UAE?

Yes. The UAE drives on the right (LHD), so LHD vehicles are standard and preferred.

How long does shipping from China to Dubai take?

RoRo to Jebel Ali is typically 15–20 days from major Chinese ports.

Do I need Arabic documents?

Not mandatory, but an Arabic translation of the inspection report and specs smooths clearance.
