I got to know its a bit hard to import and register japanese imports in dubai. if thats the case lets look into how i can get a car down from USA. shipping costs, duty, registration procedures, etc.

thanks and regards

not difficult to import

Hey, there are thousands of cars imported yearly from Japan and also from US. There are many dealers that will do it for you, or you can do it yourself as well.

I dont know the actual procedures of getting this done, but I believe that you need to have all the proper papers of the car you are importing. You need to live in UAE to receive it at the port. You will need to get it through customs and pay any duty (5-6%). Then it should be simply to go and register it.
I would suggest to talk to some car dealers before to know how this is done. You could probably broker a cheaper deal if they can get the car imported together with their other cars.

Otherwise, some people have imported cars within containers (much safer this way). Then the cost is of normal container shipping charges that can be checked with any shipping/cargo company.

Just make sure that the car is allowed to be registered here. It must be left-hand-drive! There are some issues with peformance kits (look at the Motor Racing forum about a discussion there).
