Import costs from the US to Dubai with applicable transit times

To determine the costs for shipping a car from the US to Dubai, there are certain factors that need to be taken into consideration such as the car type and size, shipping method, departure port, local pick up in the US and delivery address in Dubai. Furthermore, the value of the vehicle also plays an important role in determining the price factor, for instance, if Freight My Car must ship a Rolls Royce Dawn from Los Angeles port to Jebel Ali port, we’d recommend moving through a personal 20ft container given the high value of the vehicles to avoid any damages or we could ship it with Roll on Roll off (RORO) to ensure safety and budget-friendly method of shipping. RORO from LA to Jebel Ali starts at $1500 again depending on the car make and model with an estimated transit time ranging from 20 to 35 days depending on the vessel port calls.

Customs duty and VAT for vehicle imports in Dubai

Import clearance for cars in UAE attracts a customs duty of 5% based on the declared value with a validated proof such as the export declaration or bill of sale. However, in addition to this, the shipment also attracts VAT of 5% which includes all services charges based on the CIF value. For instance, we’d add the cost of shipping, insurance, customs duty, clearance charges, and export charges in order to which the VAT of 5% would be applied on. After completing the import process and all duties being paid, the Customs in Dubai along with the Roads and Transport authority would issue a Vehicle Clearance Certificate (VCC) meaning that all duties have been paid and the vehicle can be registered using this VCC copy.
