Model Overview

The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (J200) is a full-size SUV renowned for its off-road capability, durability, and luxury. Produced from 2007 to 2021, it remains highly sought after in the used car market, especially in the Middle East. In China, the Land Cruiser 200 was officially sold until 2020, with a few units available as parallel imports until 2021. Common variants found in the Chinese used market include:

  • 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) – the base engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic, often in GX and GX-R trims.
  • 4.6L V8 (1UR-FE) – the more powerful option, available in GX-R, VX, and VX-R trims, with 8-speed automatic.
  • 5.7L V8 (3UR-FE) – primarily found in parallel imports (e.g., from the US or Middle East), but less common in China; these are typically top-spec VX-R or limited editions.

Most Chinese-market Land Cruisers are left-hand drive, which is compatible with Saudi Arabia. Mileage typically ranges from 30,000 to 80,000 km for 2020-2021 models, with well-maintained service histories.

Real China Domestic Price Range (FOB Shanghai)

As of early 2026, the approximate FOB Shanghai prices for used Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (2020-2021) are as follows:

  • 4.0L V6 (2020-2021): $38,000 – $45,000 USD
  • 4.6L V8 (2020-2021): $45,000 – $55,000 USD
  • 5.7L V8 (rare, parallel import): $55,000 – $65,000 USD

These prices are for vehicles in good condition with no accident history, and include the cost of the vehicle at our Shanghai yard, ready for export. Final pricing depends on trim, mileage, and condition.

Route from Shanghai to Saudi Arabia

The most common shipping route is from Shanghai Port to Jeddah Islamic Port (the main Red Sea port for Saudi Arabia), with a transit time of approximately 20-25 days for direct services. Some shipments may go via Dammam on the Arabian Gulf, but Jeddah is preferred for central and western Saudi Arabia.

Shipping Method: For used vehicles, we recommend RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping, as it is cost-effective and safer for the vehicle (no container handling). RoRo rates from Shanghai to Jeddah are currently around $1,200 - $1,500 USD per unit. Container shipping (40ft high cube) costs more (approx. $2,500 - $3,000) and is only advisable for oversized or extremely valuable vehicles, or when RoRo space is unavailable.

Duty and Taxes at Saudi Arabia Destination

When importing a used vehicle to Saudi Arabia, the following costs apply:

  • Customs Duty: 5% of the CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value.
  • Value Added Tax (VAT): 15% levied on the (CIF + Customs Duty) amount.
  • Other fees: Port handling, customs clearance, and inspection fees, typically around $300 - $500 USD.

Example: If CIF value is $50,000, duty = $2,500, VAT = (50,000+2,500)*15% = $7,875, total taxes = $10,375.

Certification Required for Saudi Arabia

To register a used vehicle in Saudi Arabia, the following certifications are mandatory:

  • SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) Certificate of Conformity (CoC) – This is required for all vehicles entering Saudi Arabia. It confirms the vehicle meets GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) standards.
  • GCC CoC (Gulf Cooperation Council Certificate of Conformity) – The vehicle must comply with GCC technical regulations for road vehicles. This is typically issued by the manufacturer or an approved body.
  • SBKTS (Saudi Bureau of Kinetic Testing) – This is not a separate certificate but refers to the inspection process for used vehicles, which includes a technical inspection to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy and not a write-off.

Note: KEBS PVoC and SONCAP are for Kenya and Nigeria, respectively, and are NOT applicable to Saudi Arabia.

GoldenLane Auto can assist in obtaining the necessary export documents, but the importer (buyer) is responsible for arranging the GCC CoC and SASO certification upon arrival. We can provide guidance and connect you with agencies that handle these certifications.
