Import a Car from Korea to the UAE
Source verified Korean cars, ship via Jebel Ali, clear UAE customs — end-to-end coordination from Busan.
The UAE is one of the most active destinations for Korean used-car exports. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah dealers regularly source Genesis, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Carnival and BMW models from Encar — Korean inventory is typically 20–30% cheaper than equivalent UAE-market cars with comparable specification and mileage.
TOPEX handles the full export chain: vehicle search on Encar and the Korean dealer network, on-site inspection by our Busan-based engineer, export documentation (commercial invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin), and ocean shipping from Busan to Jebel Ali. UAE import duty on used cars is 5% CIF; we provide every document your UAE clearing agent will need.
