However, with the right guidance and expertise, the process can be a breeze. That’s where Powerhelm comes in. As a leading importer and exporter of used cars, bikes, and quads, we specialize in making the process of exporting your used vehicle from Dubai as easy as possible. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step, so you can export your vehicle with confidence and peace of mind.
Before you export your used vehicle from Dubai, it’s important to understand the regulations and restrictions involved. Exporting a vehicle is regulated by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai, which issues export certificates for vehicles that are allowed to leave the country. However, there are various regulations and standards you need to meet to export your vehicle successfully. These regulations vary depending on the destination country and include emissions and safety standards that must be met before a vehicle can be imported. In this section, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of the different regulations and restrictions you need to know before exporting your used vehicle from Dubai.
The export process in Dubai is regulated by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). Before exporting your vehicle, you must obtain an export certificate from the RTA, which verifies that your vehicle is allowed to leave the country. To obtain an export certificate, you’ll need to provide the RTA with the following documents:
Â
Once you’ve provided the required documents, the RTA will issue an export certificate that’s valid for 30 days. This certificate must be presented to the shipping company when exporting your vehicle.
It’s important to note that not all vehicles are allowed to be exported from Dubai. The RTA has specific criteria that must be met for a vehicle to be eligible for export, including:
Â
If your vehicle meets the eligibility criteria, you’ll be able to obtain an export certificate from the RTA and proceed with exporting your used vehicle from Dubai.
You must also be aware of the import regulations and standards of the destination country. These regulations vary depending on the country you’re exporting to, and it’s essential to comply with them to avoid any issues during the import process.
The import regulations and standards typically include the following:
Emissions standards: The destination country may have specific emissions standards that your vehicle must meet to be imported. These standards can vary based on the vehicle’s age, make, and model.
Safety standards: The destination country may also have safety standards that your vehicle must meet, including specific requirements for seat belts, airbags, and other safety features.
Documentation requirements: You’ll need to provide various documents when importing your vehicle, including the bill of lading, export certificate, and other paperwork required by the destination country.
At Powerhelm, our team of experts can provide guidance on the specific regulations and requirements of the destination country to ensure a smooth import process for your used vehicle.Â
When exporting a used vehicle from Dubai, it’s essential to be aware of the custom duties and taxes involved to avoid being scammed or overpaying. The custom duties and taxes vary depending on the country you’re exporting to, the value of the vehicle, and the type of vehicle being exported.
To ensure you’re paying the correct amount, it’s essential to research the custom duties and taxes involved in exporting your used vehicle. You can consult with a professional importer or freight forwarder, like Powerhelm, who can provide guidance on the custom duties and taxes specific to the destination country and help you estimate the total costs of exporting your used vehicle.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that certain free zones in Dubai offer incentives for exporting used vehicles. Free zones like Jebel Ali Free Zone and Dubai Auto Zone offer customs duty exemption and tax incentives for used vehicle exporters, making it an attractive option for those looking to export their vehicles from Dubai.

Preparing your vehicle for export is an important step in the export process to ensure the safe and legal transportation of your vehicle. By following a few simple steps, you can ensure that your vehicle is in the best condition possible for export and that it arrives at its destination safely and without incident.
Cleaning and detailing your vehicle is an essential step in preparing it for export. Thoroughly clean the exterior and interior, including the wheels, tires, and undercarriage, to remove dirt and debris. A clean vehicle is more likely to pass inspections and arrive at the destination in good condition.
When exporting your vehicle from Dubai, it’s important to cancel your insurance policy to avoid paying unnecessary premiums. Contact your insurance provider and let them know that you’re exporting the vehicle, and they will guide you through the process of cancelling your policy.
Before cancelling your insurance policy, make sure that you have all necessary documentation for the export process, including the export certificate, bill of lading, and any other paperwork required by the destination country.
Having outstanding loans on your vehicle can complicate the export process and delay the shipment of your vehicle. By paying off any outstanding loans, you can ensure a smooth and hassle-free export process.
Choosing the right shipping method is an important aspect of exporting your vehicle. There are two main shipping methods: roll-on, roll-off (RoRo) and container shipping.
RoRo is the most common and cost-effective shipping method for vehicles. With RoRo, your vehicle is driven onto the ship and secured for transport. Container shipping is a more secure option, as your vehicle is loaded into a container and secured for transport. However, it can be more expensive than RoRo.
