Import a car from Dubai
Importing a car from Dubai can pay off when the process is done properly. Here is how the import to Germany works, what to budget for, and how CarAgent handles the entire process.
How the import works
First you choose a vehicle from our inventory or have it sourced via the dream-car search. An independent inspection with a condition report follows.
After your confirmation and full payment, we handle the purchase, export papers, shipping, customs, TÜV and registration until the car arrives with you.
What does the import cost?
On top of the vehicle price come freight, customs (usually 10 % for cars) and import VAT (19 %) plus TÜV and registration. CarAgent gives you a transparent total upfront.
What to watch out for
A genuine inspection before purchase, clear contracts and secure payment handling are essential. This avoids the typical risks of buying abroad.
