Ship Car To Salalah

Car Shipping Salalah

Salalah is the seat of the governor in the province of Dhofar and the second-largest city in Oman. It is home to the largest port in the Arabian Peninsula, the Port of Salalah, and is a container shipping hub. It connects trade between the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. As the city does not have very reliable public transport except taxis, having your personal vehicle will be an asset if you are planning to move here.

Even if it seems daunting to import the car from the USA to Oman, it isn’t as complex as it looks, especially when you have an experienced international shipping service like A1 Auto Transport service to assist you. The import regulations in Oman allow foreigners and expatriates to import vehicles on a temporary or permanent basis as needed.

Temporary import of Vehicles

There are specific regulations of Oman’s Ministry of Transport and Communications for temporary import of vehicles. Some of these include:

• You get to import it for six months when the international passage register has secured the vehicle.
• Without that registration, you can import it for three months, and if you can put down a deposit or have insurance covering the customs duties and taxes, it is extendable for another three months.
• Additionally, you must have verifiable status and good standing with the Customs Department.

Other necessary documentation includes:

• Current Driver’s License.
• Clear title deed.
• International Passage Register.
• Car insurance policy from Oman insurance service.

The length of time a car is allowed to stay in Salalah is partially determined by its entry in the International Passage Register. If you manage to keep the vehicle safe, you can maintain your student temporary licence plate status. Before having your car exported, you should familiarise yourself with the requirements set forth by the Oman Customs Department. When driving into Oman, you'll need to pay a variety of taxes and fees.

Additionally, there are two methods of importing your vehicle to Oman. The first is RORO or Roll-on/Roll-Off shipping, and the other is a more expensive yet secure container shipping method. To make sure that there are no delays in delivery at Salalah, get the car steam-cleaned before shipping. You will need to strip the car of all accessories and remove the air conditioning gas when you are shipping it by RORO freight. However, if you want to send over more goods, along with the vehicle, using this method may be the better option.
