Importing a vehicle into Lebanon can be a complex and involved endeavor. Still, by researching ahead of time and hiring a reputable auto transport company, it doesn’t have to be an unpleasant experience.

There are a couple of options that you must consider when shipping your vehicle into Lebanon. The first is determining the length of time your vehicle will remain in the country because if you intend to re-export it out within six months, you can avoid paying customs duties and taxes. This is known as a temporary import. If you want to keep your vehicle in the country longer than six months, you must follow the process outlined for a permanent import.

You will be required to pay a customs duty known as the “Single Customs Duty,” which is calculated based on the value of the vehicle (obtained from a universally recognized source such as Blue Book or the Super Schwache Liste). If your vehicle’s value exceeds 20 million LBP, expect that you will owe a duty of approximately 50% of your vehicle’s value. If the value is less than 20 million LBP, expect your duty to be a flat fee of 5,000,000 LBP. You may also be held liable for a local consumption duty. In addition to the customs duties, a Value Added Tax (VAT) of 10% will be imposed too.

All the values used to calculate how much you owe are determined based on the CIF total (Cost + Insurance + Freight), so ensure you have all the pertinent documents pertaining to shipping the vehicle handy at all times.

Finally, Lebanon does not allow vehicles over eight years of age to be imported, and that age limit is currently in legislation to be reduced down to 5 years. Consult the Lebanon Customs website before arranging to ship your vehicle to ensure all information is current and your vehicle qualifies.
