We have a used sedan from Europe and want to register it here.
What should I know about importing a car to Al Jumum?
1 Answer
Importing a vehicle into Saudi Arabia requires customs clearance, payment of duties (typically a percentage of the car’s value) and compliance with local emission and safety standards. After the car clears customs, you must obtain a registration certificate from the traffic department, which involves submitting ownership documents, a valid insurance policy and a Saudi residency permit. The vehicle will also need a local inspection to verify roadworthiness. For detailed steps, consult the Saudi customs authority’s website and the traffic department’s online portal, which provide forms, fee schedules and timelines.
A starting point only — it may be incomplete or out of date. Check official sources for anything important, and add your own answer if you know Al Jumum.
