"A mystery" Can unlock and start your vehicle
A quick Internet search on the import and export cars to and from the UAE raises many information At first glance, it looks like a bureaucratic process but easy for someone to leave the UAE who wants to keep a car that is unavailable or unaffordable in their home countries, or for someone who moved to the United Arab Emirates and wants to make a reliable car and well-liked with them, export or import may seem tempting costs vary what other country is involved and the type of vehicle in general, it is wise to allow several thousand US dollars for transportation costs and export or import licenses, but money can be saved if your car can fit into a container with household items another consideration is the cost of change, especially if a car is driven right and entered into the UAE or is LHD and export to a country that leads left the certificate of the vehicle is the main customs documents necessary to bring a car in the UAE, but changes may be necessary if the car does not meet the specifications of the GCC An import duty of 4 per cent is levied on the value of the car, which is determined by the authorities at the port of entry Any attempt to import or export is different - we talked to four people who were involved in the process, with varying results.
Importing a car in the UAE is tempting, especially if you have a car left which you are particularly attached But Armando Santos, who tried to send his beloved Jeep from Jeddah to Dubai, the process been hampered by a bureaucratic blunder There was confusion between the authorities in Jeddah when J in the car's chassis number was misinterpreted as T and the car, which was stopped in a shipping container 20 feet since early July, refused permission to sail to Dubai I have already missed two opportunities to ship the car and now I could get a fine for the container being there for more than 10-days it is still in the container in Jeddah Islamic Port awaiting authorization, said Santos.
While the employer has covered shipping, paperwork, such as cancellation of registration and certificate of customs vehicle, cost Santos SAR4,500 Dh4,407 When the car finally arrives in Dubai Santos will be charged four percent import duties on the basis that customs officers for this purpose think the car is worth, he hopes it will happen this month, but until then, I'm just waiting, he said Henning Engel, a Porsche enthusiast based in Abu Dhabi and CEO of turbochargers Middle East, imported cars in the United Arab Emirates twice in 1997, when he moved from Germany to Sharjah has imported convertible Volkswagen Golf MkI his wife, which costs about Dh3,600 for transportation and paperwork But it wasn t all rest - a vacuum cleaner, an amplifier and spoiler headlights were stolen They were stolen in Germany can -being on the boat or perhaps port in Dubai, we will never know, Engel said once the car was in the United Arab Emirates, Engel has paid an additional DH200 - it is not known if this re was fined for the car not having GCC specifications or charge for a letter giving him permission to record the car without these specifications - but once it has been paid, the car registration Sharjah was simple Eventually they sold the car a man who exports to Lebanon where the cooler climate means the absence of air conditioning was less of a problem and he really liked the car, adds Engel in 2008, he imported rare 1992 Porsche 964 RS of only 2,050 Japan this pared- return racer was street legal fact, it is estimated that between 400-500 remain, the rest mostly meeting their end of the track fails, it sought the help of Alex Renner, who headed e a Porsche specialist mechanical workshop in Dubai, for the difficult task of helping find a 964 RS I told him that if you hear about a sale around the world, let me know, even if they are all in rare, almost impossible to get, says Engel few months after that conversation, Renner called Engel with news that an RS 964 was auctioned in Japan Renner was ordered not to bid higher than DH210 , 000, and he managed to get the car at auction for Dh188,000 the car had a complete history and only 37000 km on the clock and Engel said he was in a brilliant state Designed for the track, it is ultra -Léger with a cover of aluminum, magnesium wheels, thinner glass for windows, no steering, and no air or indoor lighting with Dh10,000 transport costs as well as import taxes and the formality administrative ed, Engel believes that cost him about Dh210,000 to bring the car in the UAE, including the purchase price It turned out to be an unexpected boon when it was discovered that 964 RS cars with more mileage on the clock were selling for between Dh380,000 to Dh480,000 from the moment Engel received the call Renner about the auction to take delivery of 964 RS from a container ship in Dubai Port, the process took seven weeks Renner took care of the paperwork and recording, and in specting the car when he arrived Without Alex, I would not have the car all I had to do was pay some money and now I'm the proud owner says Engel he said suggestions that should the car race are crazy, I'll keep it in good condition, he said Engel advises anyone considering the dispatch of a car to ask if the car is conducted on the boat or shipped in a container When the car is on the boat, not in a container, anything can happen, someone could break in, he warned against, but when it is in a container, if is on the lower decks and there is bad weather, such as storms and rain, which can enter the car and cause rust, I was lucky that my Porsche arrived in perfect condition.
It seems that exporting a car out of the UAE is often easier than importing a car like Maria Aswad and Blair Mayne can both attest Aswad left Dubai in May 2008 to return to Lebanon it has exported his black Honda CR-V, a car she bought brand new when she saw the UAE the process of export from Dubai to Lebanon cost about 12500 Dh45,912, Aswad said she told no wrong turned and the process was easy All I had to do was make sure he left Dubai and when he arrived at the Syrian border, officials handling these deliveries have taken charge, she says the process trucking involved from Dubai to Lebanon by land when it reaches the borders of Syria, I had to pay 11800 Dh43,341 for the country an import duty, then it had to be registered in Lebanon and get u only Lebanese plate Aswad said that despite the costs involved, she does not regret the transport of the car in Lebanon, where cars are much more expensive than the UAE I recommend that people ship their cars, especially if they re car agency and not bought used, she said that if had to sell my car in the United Arab Emirates, I would have lost much of it's value, so I found it better ship Mayne, a British expatriate who has lived in Abu Dhabi for five years, last month said goodbye to a Volvo XC90 it was packed on a container ship in Jebel Ali vessel linked to the French port of Marseille, he described the two-month process as surprisingly smooth Exporting the car in France, where his new home will Mayne makes economic sense as I boarded the car in France with Allied Pickfords a moving company and household products in a container, it d it Adding a car 40 feet container not unlike the cost of shipping so the only additional charge was DH800 for paperwork, export plates and a four-day insurance policy to cover the car after having been unregistered in Abu Dhabi.
Shipping the car in France also save on import duties and VAT as Volvo Mayne was more than six months, he won t have to pay a fee of at least 30 percent or 19 6 percent VAT cars are less dear here the UAE and even used cars in France can be quite expensive, so it was obvious to ship the car, said Mayne with the second-hand market in France to market a seller can Mayne make a profit on the car he sold in Marseille, I'm pretty confident I can sell it at a profit, and ideally, I want to replace it with a diesel engine, which doesn t sell Volvo Volvo supplied here with Mayne European certificate of conformity indicating that it can be exported to France without changes it can cost around Dh40,000 to Dh50,000 to have changed what was also a gain, he said with Pickfords allies to let him know that the documents was neces sary and help from Volvo, Mayne said the hardest driving the car into the container car was the last thing to go, he EXPLANATORY ins going to say it was a nervous process to reverse into the container before disconnect the battery There was no room to open the door so I had to go out the window.
