The other shipping agent has come back to me.
Firstly, even though it is a temporary import, the five year rule applies to cars and motorbikes.
Secondly the RHD bit is still there.
Third for those vehicles that are LHD and under five years old there is a 5% charge based on assessed value
Fourth, documents required are: - Title Certificate / Car Registrations
- Saudi Arabian Standard Organization (SASO) Conformity Certificate from the country of origin
SASO Conformity Certificate may be secured in locally. SASO office may require replacement or conversion to some parts of the car to meet the SASO Standard at owner’s expense. Application for the SASO Conformity Certificate may be rejected and may be required to re-export the car back to origin at owner’s expense.
- Police Clearance / de-registrations from the country of origin
- Other proofs of ownership i.e. Purchase Invoice
Stuffs my plan of going over there on my airhead.
