Now for something different - CARS by dinky

Can we import our Dubai cars or would that be really difficult? And if we do, is it easy to have cars serviced there - like proper agency services? I amm talking of a Pajero and a Mustang.

Mr ed

On A Pajero as it is 4x4 you will pay 60% duty all 4x4 carry this rate, mustang there is a few here and the customs duty will be worked out on the vehicles new price. I would sell them and buy whn u get here. Read More
