Car Shipping Amman
Jordan's capital, Amman, is the country's most populous city and the center of political, economic, and cultural activities. It is currently considered the most Westernized of all Arab cities, and that is one reason that expatriates, students, and workers flock to the town every year for education and employment.
Due to the complicated import and shipping rules between the United States and Jordan, you should choose a professional international car shipping agency to help you bring your vehicle to Amman. Our familiarity with the rules and recognition by the Jordanian Customs Service as one of the most reliable international shippers makes A1 Auto Transport Service's deliveries in Amman a breeze.

Essential documentation and eligibility
Laws and regulations keep changing frequently, and as per the current import laws in Jordan, only new vehicles with no mileage on the odometer can be cleared at the Port of Aqaba. In contrast, Bureau Veritas must clear used cars at the Zarqa Free Zone. Additionally, Jordan has stringent emission laws, and if your vehicle does not pass the standardized tests, it will need to be modified before the Ministry of Transport clears it. After these tests are removed, the customs duties and levies must be paid before the car is handed over to the owner or authorized representative.
Some important documents that you need to submit at the local US port and in Jordan include:
- Driver’s license
- Proof of ownership
- Original bill of vehicle purchase
- Insurance documents and certificate
- Car title deed
- Bill of Lading
Before you dispatch from the USA
Additionally, before you start the process of shipping your vehicle, you will need to contact the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency to let them know about your intent to ship the car to Amman, and you need to submit a host of documents that confirm that the vehicle is eligible to be shipped to Jordan. You will need to be aware of the latest environmental standards of Bureau Veritas Jordan so that your vehicle can comply with them or get the modifications done before shipping it. Hence, there are no delays in Amman. When you work with A1 Auto Transport service, we will do what is needed so you can focus on other aspects of the move.
To make sure your vehicle is not quarantined, which can delay the customs clearance and delivery to the owner, especially if you are sending it by RORO, complete these steps:
- steam clean the vehicle completely
- remove the air conditioning gas and personal belongings
- only keep ¼ tank of gas
- Keep a spare set of keys, floor mats, jack, and spare tire.
Although there are different methods of shipping your vehicle to Amman, air transport is super expensive and usually out of the question for most people. Container shipping and roll-on/roll-off (RORO) are other affordable everyday methods. For shipping to the area, RORO works best and is the most affordable option. You only have to pay for the space occupied by your car.
If you decide to ship in an enclosed container, it will be more expensive as you must secure your vehicle in a 20-foot or 40-foot container. However, to lower the cost, you can share it with someone who is shipping to Amman. The method of shipping will influence the time taken to reach the city. You should discuss your custom requirements with A1 Auto Transport service and get a free quote.
