Importing Japanese Auto Parts to the UAE

Q: What Japanese auto parts can I import to the UAE?

Both genuine (OEM) and aftermarket parts for Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Mitsubishi, and other brands — engine and drivetrain assemblies, suspension, cooling, electrical, and body parts — with few restrictions compared to complete vehicles.

Q: Can I re-export parts from the UAE?

Yes — importing through Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) lets you store and re-export tax-efficiently to Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. We handle re-export documentation and logistics.

Q: How fast can parts ship from Japan to the UAE?

Sea freight runs about 3–4 weeks to Jebel Ali; for urgent items we air-freight, landing parts in a few days. We consolidate mixed orders to cut cost.

Q: What duty applies to auto parts in the UAE?

Customs duty is 5% on most parts. Goods imported and re-exported through free zones can avoid VAT, keeping landed cost low for re-export businesses.

The UAE is both a strong local market for Japanese parts and the Gulf’s re-export hub. With 5% duty and Jebel Ali free-zone options, importers supply Dubai’s workshops and re-export OEM and aftermarket parts onward to Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia.
