• Original Bill of Lading which includes make, year, model, chassis as well as engine number, type and color of the car.
• Original Commercial Invoice or Sales Bill
• Passport/Visa copy page or UAE residency
• The name on the car title has to match the name on the passport

The cars that are imported in Umm al-Quwain have to be left-handed and there is a customs duty of 5% of the total value of the car. The value is determined by the customs. However, the imported vehicles must be 5 years of age or less. The check-up committee can exclude the age limit on classic cars. At the same time, you must know that the Road Transport Authority is going to perform a check in order to make sure and approve the car for driving on the roadways. There is also an emission test that has to be passed and the CO2 levels have to be lower than 3.5%.

All of these details should be presented to you by your car agent but just in case you might want to check in with the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates for any further information that may concern you.

Prior to the import.

Before you reach the shipping port in US, you will receive a final quotation from our agent which will give you an idea of how much money you’d have to budget. The car would have to be properly steam cleaned, accessories removed for safe transit. You should also be provided with all the possible ways to ship your car which are:

• Ro-Ro shipping means that your car is going to be driven on its own wheels on a shipping deck where it would be secured to the ramp and transported this way. This means that it would be left exposed to the elements. You won’t be allowed to ship any other personal belongings with the car.
• Container shipping is going to provide you with the chance of shipping other belongings with the car but it’s also more expensive. You have to choose between a 20ft and 40ft container and you can also go ahead and share it with someone else to split the expenses.
