Yes. VERO Shipping can arrange the pickup and shipping of non-running, damaged, salvage, and accident vehicles from the USA to the UAE, including vehicles purchased from Copart, IAA, dealerships, and other sellers.

Customers can purchase a damaged or non-running vehicle even if it cannot be driven. VERO Shipping has experience arranging the inland transportation of these vehicles from the auction or seller's location to our loading facility in the United States. Depending on the vehicle's condition, specialized towing or loading equipment may be used.

After the vehicle arrives at the VERO Shipping facility, our team can photograph the vehicle and upload the available photos to the VERO Shipping system so the customer can review the vehicle's condition before international shipping.

If the vehicle arrives with loose parts or spare parts, such as vehicle components supplied with an auction purchase, our team can collect and organize eligible parts and, when permitted, place them in cartons for shipment together with the customer's vehicles. Acceptance is subject to shipping-line, customs, safety, and export requirements.

The damaged or non-running vehicle can then be professionally loaded and secured inside a container for shipment to the UAE, including routes to Jebel Ali in Dubai or Khor Fakkan in Sharjah, depending on the available vessel schedule.

Yes. The required documents depend on whether the vehicle will be imported into the UAE under a company name or an individual name. VERO Shipping can review the customer's documents before the vehicle is shipped from the United States.

For a UAE company importing a vehicle, the customer should generally provide:

• A valid UAE trade license.
• Valid company registration documents.
• Valid UAE tax registration documents, when applicable.
• A valid Emirates ID for the authorized person or company representative.
• Consignee and contact information required for the shipment and UAE customs clearance.

If a customer does not have the required company documentation or cannot import the vehicle under their own company, VERO Shipping may be able to arrange the shipment and import process through our UAE company, subject to eligibility, documentation review, customs requirements, and an additional service fee. Customers should confirm this option with VERO Shipping before purchasing or shipping the vehicle.

For export from the United States, the vehicle must have acceptable export documentation. This normally includes an original vehicle title or other ownership document acceptable for export, depending on the vehicle and the issuing state. The vehicle and its documentation must satisfy applicable U.S. export and customs requirements before it can leave the United States.

VERO Shipping checks the available vehicle documents before export and coordinates the required export process. Vehicles with title problems, ownership discrepancies, liens, export restrictions, or other documentation issues may require additional processing or may not be eligible for export until the issue is resolved.

The vehicle must also be legally eligible for export. VERO Shipping does not knowingly export stolen vehicles or vehicles prohibited from export. The VIN, ownership documents, and other required information must be consistent with applicable U.S. export requirements.

Vehicles and containers must not contain prohibited or undeclared items. Any spare parts or additional items shipped with a vehicle must comply with the requirements of the shipping line, U.S. export authorities, and UAE customs.

Customers buying vehicles at U.S. auctions can read our Copart and IAA vehicle buying and shipping guide and our USA to UAE car shipping guide.

For additional information about importing vehicles into the Emirates, see our UAE vehicle import guide and vehicle export and international shipping guide.

After the vehicle is cleared for export, VERO Shipping can arrange pickup from Copart, IAA, a dealership, or another seller, inland transportation to our U.S. loading facility, vehicle photography, container loading, ocean shipping to the UAE, customs clearance assistance, unloading, and final delivery.

Before purchasing a vehicle, customers can send VERO Shipping the VIN, Copart lot number, IAA stock number, or auction link. Our team can review the available information and advise what documents will be needed for shipping and import into Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, or other UAE destinations.

VERO Shipping offers both container shipping and Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) shipping from the USA to the UAE, with the best option depending on the vehicle type, condition, U.S. location, destination, available vessel schedule, and total shipping cost. For container shipping, common container sizes include: 20-foot container: approximately 20 ft long × 8 ft wide × 8.5 ft high externally. It is commonly used when shipping a single vehicle or when a dedicated container is required. 40-foot container: approximately 40 ft long × 8 ft wide × 8.5 ft high externally. VERO Shipping commonly uses this size for consolidated vehicle shipments. Depending on the dimensions of the vehicles and safe loading configuration, multiple vehicles can be loaded in one container. 45-foot container: approximately 45 ft long × 8 ft wide × 9.5 ft high externally. Availability depends on the shipping line, departure port, and route. Container shipping is especially suitable for Copart and IAA auction vehicles, damaged or non-running cars, luxury vehicles, classic cars, SUVs, and high-value vehicles. VERO Shipping can arrange inland transportation to the loading facility, photograph the vehicle when received, prepare it for loading, secure it inside the container, and arrange export from the United States. Customers can learn more from our guides about shipping cars purchased from U.S. auctions⁠, USA-to-UAE vehicle shipping⁠, and international vehicle container shipping⁠. RoRo shipping works differently. The vehicle is driven or moved onto a specialized Roll-on/Roll-off vessel and secured for ocean transportation. It can be a convenient and secure option for operational vehicles, but RoRo is not necessarily cheaper than container shipping. Depending on the vehicle, shipping line, sailing schedule and departure port, RoRo transportation from New Jersey, Savannah, Georgia, or Texas to Jebel Ali, UAE may sometimes reach approximately USD 2,500 per vehicle. This is an estimated example rather than a guaranteed rate because ocean freight rates and vessel availability can change. For additional information about choosing shipping methods and preparing vehicles for export, see our guides on vehicle export and ocean shipping⁠ and shipping vehicles to UAE ports⁠. For vehicles located in California, direct RoRo service on the required UAE route may not be available. In that situation, VERO Shipping can arrange inland dispatch from California to an appropriate U.S. departure point such as Texas, Savannah, or New Jersey, depending on the available sailing and total transportation cost. Customers shipping vehicles to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman or other UAE destinations can therefore compare container and RoRo options based on the complete cost from the vehicle’s location in the United States to its final destination in the UAE—not ocean freight alone. For more information about UAE vehicle import procedures and destination services, see VERO's UAE vehicle import guide⁠.

Yes. VERO Shipping may arrange the shipment of personal belongings inside your own vehicle when shipping a car from the USA to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, or other destinations in the UAE, subject to shipping-line, U.S. export, and UAE customs requirements.

If the vehicle belongs to you and you have personal items that you would like to ship with it, VERO Shipping can review the items before loading and advise whether they can be placed securely inside the vehicle or container.

Prohibited, dangerous, restricted, illegal, or undeclared items cannot be shipped. All belongings must comply with applicable laws and regulations in both the United States and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the requirements of the ocean carrier.

Customers should inform VERO Shipping in advance about any personal belongings they intend to ship. Our team can review the items before the vehicle is loaded to help avoid problems during U.S. export procedures, ocean transportation, or UAE customs clearance.

When accepted for shipment and successfully cleared through customs, the personal belongings travel with the vehicle/container and can be received together with the vehicle after arrival and clearance in the UAE.

Learn more about shipping a car from the USA to the UAE, our UAE vehicle import and shipping guide, international vehicle shipping and export information, and our guide to buying and shipping vehicles from the United States.

Before placing any personal belongings inside the vehicle, contact VERO Shipping with a list or photos of the items so our team can confirm whether they are acceptable for the planned shipment to the UAE.

UAE customs duty and VAT are separate from VERO Shipping's vehicle shipping charges.

For a standard vehicle import into the UAE, customs duty is generally 5% of the customs-assessed vehicle value, and 5% VAT may also apply according to UAE customs and tax regulations. The final customs value is determined or accepted by the UAE customs authorities based on the vehicle documents and applicable assessment procedures.

These customs duties, VAT, and government charges are normally paid by the customer and are not included in the ocean shipping price unless clearly stated in the quotation.

VERO Shipping can assist customers with the UAE customs clearance process, shipping documents, port procedures, container release, transportation from the port, vehicle unloading, and delivery to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, and other UAE destinations.

Customers can read more about UAE vehicle customs and import procedures, car shipping and customs clearance in the UAE, and vehicle import costs and procedures.

For vehicles imported into the UAE for re-export to another country such as Iraq, a different customs procedure may apply. Depending on the import declaration, customs procedure, documentation, and re-export timing, customs duty and VAT paid or secured may be eligible for recovery or other customs treatment.

VERO Shipping can assist customers with eligible re-export procedures and the required supporting documentation. Customers planning to re-export a vehicle should inform VERO Shipping before the original UAE customs clearance is completed so the correct procedure can be reviewed from the beginning.

For more information about re-export and international vehicle shipping, see our international vehicle shipping and re-export guide, vehicle export procedures and documentation, and international car shipping information.

Where a refund or recovery procedure is available, the applicable deadline and eligibility are determined by UAE Customs and tax rules. Customers planning to re-export the vehicle within approximately six months should contact VERO Shipping early so the required documents and customs procedure can be checked.

Where applicable and with the required customer authorization and documents, our team can also assist with traffic and vehicle registration procedures, including registration paperwork and obtaining UAE license plates, helping reduce the need for the customer to personally attend every step of the process. Once the required customs, traffic, registration, and vehicle-release procedures are completed, our specialized delivery team can arrange transportation of the vehicle directly to the customer's home or requested location.

Getting a car shipping quote from VERO Shipping is simple. We can provide an estimated shipping cost for vehicles located anywhere in the United States and being shipped to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah, or other destinations in the UAE. To receive an accurate quotation, send VERO Shipping the vehicle VIN number or auction link from Copart, IAAI, Manheim, a dealership, or private seller. If an auction link is not available, send us the vehicle year, make, model, condition, and its current U.S. location or ZIP code. Our team can then calculate the transportation from the vehicle's location to the appropriate U.S. shipping facility, container or available ocean shipping cost, and estimated transportation to the UAE. For example, vehicles may be shipped through major U.S. locations including New Jersey, Savannah, Georgia, Houston, Texas, and other available export points depending on the location of the vehicle and shipping schedule. Customers can also ask VERO Shipping for an estimated total cost before purchasing a vehicle. This can help the buyer understand the expected auction purchase, inland transportation, ocean freight, UAE customs clearance, taxes, port charges, and final delivery costs before making a purchasing decision. VERO Shipping can assist with the complete process from buying the vehicle in the United States through pickup, transportation, loading, export documentation, ocean shipping, UAE customs clearance, and final delivery to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, or another UAE destination. For more information, see our guides about shipping cars from the USA to the UAE, car shipping costs from the United States, buying and shipping auction cars, international vehicle transportation, UAE vehicle import and shipping information, and car shipping and customs procedures. Send VERO Shipping the vehicle link or VIN together with the UAE destination, and our team can review the shipment and prepare the appropriate quotation.

Yes. Before purchasing a vehicle from Copart, IAAI, or another U.S. auto auction, you can send the vehicle link or VIN to VERO Shipping for review. Our team can review the vehicle's auction information, location, condition, available photos, title information, and whether the vehicle appears suitable for export from the United States. We can also estimate the inland transportation cost from the auction yard to the appropriate VERO Shipping loading location and provide an estimated ocean shipping cost to the UAE before you make your purchasing decision. This is particularly useful when buying damaged, non-running, salvage, luxury, or high-value vehicles because transportation, loading, title status, and export requirements can affect the final shipping cost. If the customer decides to purchase the vehicle, VERO Shipping can assist with the next stages, including auction payment arrangements where applicable, vehicle pickup, inland transportation, receiving photos, container loading, U.S. export procedures, ocean shipping, UAE customs clearance, and delivery to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain or Fujairah. For more detailed information, see our guides about buying vehicles from U.S. auto auctions, Copart vehicle buying and shipping, shipping auction vehicles from the USA, vehicle export and international shipping, USA car auction and shipping information, and car shipping to international destinations. Sending the auction link to VERO Shipping before bidding can help the customer understand the expected transportation and shipping process before purchasing the vehicle.
