Importing a car from Europe

Postby websitead on Wed Aug 10, 2011 12:00 pm

Hello all and Ramadan Kareem

This forum seems to have quite a few resourceful people and I need your help figuring out a few things. I am looking to import a 2010 Lexus 460L from Europe. I am getting a good deal on the car. It is GCC specs.
I need to know what the procedure is to import the car and how is the 5% custom duty calculated? Is it based on the purchase price or do they estimate the market value themselves. Any other charges that I should be aware of. Clearing I have heard can be done over here for less than a 1000 by an agent.

Thanks

Check some older posts on similar subjects. Try searching the forum.

The price is calculated based on market value, or what customs believes that to be. Experience is that they calculate quite a low price, but there seems to be no real rule book on how this is done.
Come and discuss at the most lively forums about Cars, Bikes, 4x4s...at http://www.autodealer.ae at the Autodealer UAE Forums.
