Hello Everyone,

I need a suggestion here. I am planning to import by car from USA to Riyadh and would like to know the process.
Is there any specification issue when importing a USA car?
After reading several blog, I understand that the car has to be 5 years old only but how much tax do I have to pay at the custom?
Is it recommnded to import a used car from USA?
Please advise

Thanks!!!

I don't think you can import a car older than 5 years....Not sure about the rest of the costs and formalities involved...

Tax is about 5% the present value of the car, shipping costs anywhere from $1500-2500 all the way to the port of entry.

Recently they have added a very environmental friendly clause for importing of vehicles in addition to the previous requirements. The minimum fuel consumption of sedan shall be 10.3kms/litre and for SUV's pickups and light trucks shall be 9.0kms/litre.
