Transporting your car to Dubai involves several important aspects that you should consider to make an informed decision. Here's a step-by-step guide to doing so, along with the associated costs and times.
Before starting the process, make sure that your car complies with Dubai regulations in terms of emissions, safety and other technical requirements. This is crucial, as a vehicle that does not comply with these regulations will not be admitted.
You'll need to gather and prepare the following documents:
A. Original Vehicle Invoice: This document certifies the ownership and value of the car.
B. Vehicle Certificate of Conformity: It ensures that the car meets local emissions and safety standards.
C. Original Shipping Document: It details the way in which the vehicle will be transported.
D. Valid Insurance Policy: You must have a valid insurance policy for the vehicle.
E. *Bank Exemption Certificate: If the car is financed, you'll need an exemption certificate from the bank that finances it.
It is essential that all documents are up to date and in good condition.
Choose a transport company with experience in shipping vehicles to Dubai. Make sure they offer insurance and tracking options during transportation.
Once the car arrives in Dubai, you must:
- Submit all required documents.
- Perform a vehicle inspection.
- Pay the corresponding taxes (detailed below).
Finally, you'll need to register and register your car in Dubai.
The time it takes for your car to arrive in Dubai varies depending on the company and shipping method, but it usually takes between 3 and 4 weeks.
Container Shipping: Approximately 1,600-1,900 euros.
Roll On/Roll Off Transport (RoRo): Approximately 2,300-2,500 euros.
You must pay three types of taxes based on the car's residual value:
- 5% of Customs.
- 5% VAT.
- 3% Import Tax.
In short, the approximate costs would be about 2,000 fixed euros, plus 13% of the car's residual value.
Before making the decision to export your car to Dubai, we recommend that you consider the following points:
1. Export Cost: Calculate the total cost of exporting the car, including transportation, taxes and other expenses.
2. Value of the Car in your Country: Determine how much you could get for selling the car in your country.
3. Price of a Car in Dubai: Find out how much the same car costs in Dubai.
