Used-Car Export Market in the Middle East

In particular, Dubai and Saudi Arabia are among the most prominent global markets for used-car imports.
These countries have a high demand for automobiles and rely heavily on imported vehicles, making them attractive destinations for individuals and companies exporting used cars from Korea, Japan, the United States, and other countries.

Basic Process of Exporting Used Cars

To begin the export process, you must first select an exportable vehicle, check its condition, and prepare the basic documents such as the model year, mileage, and performance inspection report.

In Dubai and Saudi Arabia, left-hand drive vehicles are preferred.
Engine condition, exterior maintenance, and especially air-conditioning performance are highly important factors.

Choosing the Shipping Method: RORO vs. Container

Once the vehicle is selected, you will choose between RORO (Roll-On/Roll-Off) or container shipping through your forwarder.

• RORO Shipping: Vehicles are driven directly onto and off the vessel.

• Container Shipping (20FT or 40FT): Vehicles are loaded inside containers for protected transport, ideal for high-value cars, supercars, or classic vehicles.

Before loading, vehicles undergo cleaning, interior preparation, battery disconnection, and other safety measures.
Shipping begins according to the scheduled departure date and the issuance of the Bill of Lading (BL).

Customs Procedures in Korea

In Korea, exporters must file a customs declaration to register vehicle information with the Korea Customs Service.
Licensed customs brokers and forwarders specializing in vehicle logistics typically handle this process.

Unlike general cargo, used vehicles require strict documentation including VIN, engine number, and registration number, and exporters must verify the import requirements of the destination country in advance.
