Exporting a car from the UAE to Africa in 2025 is easier than ever—if you follow the right steps. Whether you’re a dealer or individual buyer, here’s a simple, updated process to help you.
Ensure it matches the regulations of the destination country (steering side, emission standards, etc.).
Popular choices: Toyota Hilux, Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol.
Valid UAE registration card (Mulkiya)
Export certificate (from RTA or Abu Dhabi Police)
Vehicle Inspection Report
Your passport/Emirates ID
De-register the car with RTA or appropriate authority.
Apply for export plates (valid for 15-30 days).
RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): Cheaper, suitable for running vehicles.
Container Shipping: Safer and used for luxury cars or multiple shipments.
Work with a licensed clearing agent in your destination country to handle import duty, customs clearance, and registration.
Use tracking numbers from your shipping provider.
Prepare for customs inspection at the African port.
