Route from Shanghai to UAE

Port of loading: Shanghai (Shanghai Port, typically Waigaoqiao or Yangshan).
Destination port: Jebel Ali, Dubai, UAE.
Transit time: 18–22 days direct via major carriers (MSC, Maersk, COSCO).
Shipping method: Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) is recommended for used cars as it is cost-effective and does not require a container. Container shipping (20ft or 40ft) is an option if you want consolidated cargo or extra protection, but it costs 30–40% more. RoRo rates from Shanghai to Jebel Ali are approximately $800–$1,200 per unit (subject to vessel space).

Duty and Taxes at UAE Destination

Importing a used car into the UAE incurs the following charges:

  • Customs duty: 5% of CIF value (vehicle cost + insurance + freight).
  • VAT: 5% of (CIF value + customs duty).
  • Other fees: Port handling (approx. $200–$400), customs clearance ($150–$300), and possible inspection fees (if required).

Example: For a used Zeekr 001 with CIF value $35,000:
Duty = 5% × $35,000 = $1,750
VAT = 5% × ($35,000 + $1,750) = $1,837.50
Total taxes ≈ $3,587.50.

Note: Used cars must be 5 years old or newer (from year of manufacture) to qualify for import. The Zeekr 001 (2021-2024) meets this requirement.

  1. Obtain a vehicle inspection report from an approved agency (e.g., TÜV Rheinland, SGS, or Bureau Veritas) in China.
