Route from Shanghai to Saudi Arabia
The most common sea route is from Shanghai Port (洋山深水港) to King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam or Jeddah Islamic Port. Transit time is approximately 18-22 days for Dammam, 20-25 days for Jeddah.
Shipping method:
- RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): Recommended for used EVs. Cost around $1,200-$1,800 per unit. The car is driven on/off, minimizing handling damage. No container rental fees.
- Container (20ft or 40ft): Suitable if you ship multiple vehicles or other goods. A 40ft container can hold 2 G6s. Cost $3,000-$4,500 per container including lashing.
GoldenLane Auto arranges shipping with COSCO, MSC, or CMA CGM. RoRo is preferred for single units due to lower cost and faster port handling.
Duty and Taxes at Saudi Arabia Destination
Import duties and taxes for used cars into Saudi Arabia:
- Customs Duty: 5% of CIF value (cost, insurance, freight)
- VAT (Value Added Tax): 15% of (CIF + customs duty)
- Additional fee: 2% of CIF (for the Saudi Ports Authority)
Example calculation for a G6 with CIF value $30,000:
- Customs duty: $30,000 × 5% = $1,500
- VAT: ($30,000 + $1,500) × 15% = $4,725
- Ports fee: $30,000 × 2% = $600
- Total taxes: $6,825
Note: Saudi Arabia has no specific EV import incentives yet. The vehicle must be less than 5 years old (manufacturing year + 5). For 2023 models, import allowed until end of 2028.
Certification Required
To register a used XPeng G6 in Saudi Arabia, the following certifications are mandatory:
