Importing non-GCC spec supercars into the UAE can be rewarding, but it requires careful attention to legal and technical details. These models, unlike GCC-spec cars, are not built specifically for Gulf weather, making inspection and compliance crucial. Before shipping, ensure the vehicle passes RTA testing for emissions, safety, and cooling systems. Key paperwork includes the export certificate, proof of ownership, and customs clearance. Importers should also be aware of the 5% customs duty and possible modification costs for air conditioning and heat protection.

At luxury used cars Dubai, we always recommend verifying the car’s VIN, checking for outstanding recalls, and understanding the insurance implications. While non-GCC models may appear cheaper upfront, their resale value and maintenance compatibility can be lower. Proper guidance ensures your dream supercar meets UAE regulations without compromising performance or value.
