Unlike the majority of countries, Libya has relatively lenient import laws but there are a lot of them and you have to take them into proper consideration.

In any case, you might want to prepare the

following documentation:

• Title deed of the car.
• Insurance of the vehicle.
• Power of attorney if you are not present to get it yourself.

Requirements in Libya

Just as the procedures on the side of the USA, you would have to prepare certain documents and to fill out paperwork when you are at the destination port in Libya. If you want to have the fullest information you might want to contact the Embassy of Libya. However, you would want to have prepared the following documents:

• Bill of Sale.
• Registration and Title.
• Ownership proof.
• Import permit from the local Government.
• Log book of your vehicle.
• Insurance certificate.

There are specific regulations that you’d have to adhere to. For instance, you can’t import a car which is over 5 years old. While the citizens of Libya who are returning to the country only need to pay 10% tax those from foreign nationalities have to deposit a refundable amount of 25% of the total value. This is going to be refunded once you leave the country.

Shipping Methods

There are different methods to shipping your car to Al Khums, there are two of them which are particularly convenient.

The first one is the RORO method which would require you to drive your car on its own wheels on a shipping deck where it would be securely fastened and transported to the receiving port. You won’t be allowed to carry anything with the vehicle but the car jacks, spare tire and the floor mats. However, this is the cheapest and fastest water-bound method.

The second option is Container shipping where you have the option to pick up a 20ft or 40ft container and ship your car with it. This is more expensive but you can get a lot of value if you have additional belongings to ship. You can also rest assured that the car would be well protected from the elements.
