Car and motorbike shipping from Dubai
Cars and motorcycles shipped internationally — freight, documentation and export customs handled, with guidance on the destination's import and registration rules.
Shipping a vehicle abroad is rarely just about the freight. It is the documentation, the customs duties, the destination registration requirements, and the simple fact that a car is both valuable and awkward to move well. Seemleius vehicle shipping coordinates the whole chain — export paperwork in Dubai, the freight, and clearance with our destination partner — so you do not have to become an expert in international vehicle import.
It can stand alone or sit within a full international relocation, coordinated by the same team.
What is included
Freight booking
Container or specialist vehicle freight booked for the route, balancing protection and cost.
Documentation
Export and import paperwork prepared, with guidance on what the destination requires.
Customs & duties
Export customs handled in Dubai, import clearance by our destination partner, and clear guidance on duties and taxes.
Condition records
The vehicle’s condition is recorded before dispatch so there is a clear baseline.
How it works
- Brief us on the vehicle. Make, model, origin and destination — we use this to recommend the freight method and outline requirements.
- Quote and document. You receive a clear quote, and we prepare the export and import paperwork.
- Ship. The vehicle is collected, its condition recorded, and it is shipped on the booked freight.
- Clear and deliver. Our destination partner handles import clearance and final delivery, with your coordinator in Dubai as your single point of contact.
Why ship your vehicle with Seemleius
Vehicle import rules differ sharply between countries — in some, a UAE-spec or left-hand-drive car generally cannot be imported or registered — and getting the documentation wrong can mean a car sitting in a port accruing charges. Our value is in getting that right the first time — correct paperwork, realistic guidance on duties, and a clear baseline condition record so there is no ambiguity on arrival.
Because it can be folded into your wider relocation, there is one coordinator and one timeline rather than a separate process to manage. Request a quote and tell us about your vehicle.
