The customs certificate: issued once the charges are paid, and there is no registration without it.
Conformity inspection: a Gulf-specification car goes through individual approval by the competent regional body, and may need modifications.
The environmental tax: paid at first registration and worked out on emissions, reaching large sums for big engines. It falls with the car’s age.
Classics: one more than 30 years old and in its original state has a reduced VAT and a special registration.

Work it out before you ship: the environmental tax on a large-engined SUV can exceed what you paid in freight and customs together. We work it out with you before booking.
