Jordan's luxury automotive market is experiencing unprecedented growth in 2026, with affluent buyers in Amman, Irbid, and Aqaba increasingly turning to Dubai for premium SUVs that offer better value, wider selection, and superior specifications compared to local dealerships.
At Altass Motors, we've exported over 450 luxury SUVs to Jordan in the past year alone.
If you're considering exporting a luxury SUV from Dubai to Jordan, this guide walks you through every step of the process, from selecting the right vehicle to understanding Jordan's 2026 import regulations, customs duties, and registration requirements. We'll also clarify exactly what Altass Motors handles and what remains your responsibility as the buyer.
Price Advantage: Luxury SUVs in Jordan typically cost 20% to 35% more than in Dubai.
Wider Selection: Dubai's automotive market offers exponentially more variety than Jordan. Whether you want a specific color, trim level, or optional package, you're far more likely to find it in Dubai's extensive vehicle inventory.
GCC Specifications: Vehicles sold in the UAE come with GCC specifications, meaning they're engineered for Middle Eastern conditions with enhanced cooling systems, dust filters, and heat-resistant materials that perform optimally in Jordan's climate.
Lower Mileage: Dubai's luxury SUVs typically have lower mileage compared to Jordanian market vehicles, as many are owned by expatriates who upgrade frequently or corporate fleets with disciplined maintenance schedules.
Flexible Age Limit: Jordan allows the import of luxury vehicles up to 8 years old, giving buyers access to recent-model premium SUVs at significant savings.
Before exporting a luxury SUV from Dubai to Jordan, you must understand the current import requirements.
Age Restrictions: Jordan allows import of vehicles up to 8 years old from the manufacturing date. A 2019 model year SUV can be imported until the end of 2027. This is more lenient than GCC countries, which typically enforce 5-year limits.
Left-Hand Drive Requirement: All vehicles imported to Jordan must be left-hand drive. All UAE vehicles are factory-original left-hand drive, so this is not a concern for Altass Motors customers.
Customs Duty Rates: Jordan applies a tiered customs duty structure based on engine capacity. Up to 2000cc faces 20% duty, 2001cc to 3000cc faces 30% duty, and above 3000cc faces 40% duty. Most luxury SUVs fall into the 3000cc-plus category, meaning 40% customs duty applies.
Sales Tax: In addition to customs duty, Jordan charges 16% sales tax on the total value, including vehicle price, customs duty, and shipping.
Special Luxury Tax: Vehicles valued above a certain threshold incur an additional 10% luxury tax. This affects most premium SUVs in our export portfolio.
Certificate of Conformity: Each vehicle must have a valid Certificate of Conformity from the manufacturer. Altass Motors provides this as part of our export documentation package.
Inspection Requirements: Jordan requires pre-shipment inspection for all imported vehicles. We coordinate with approved inspection agencies in Dubai to complete this before your SUV ships.
Understanding the division of responsibilities is critical for a smooth export experience.
As an established Dubai car dealership, Altass Motors handles the UAE-side sales and export preparation while the buyer remains responsible for arranging shipping and the Jordan-side import process.
Complete UAE Export Documentation: We handle all paperwork required to legally export your luxury SUV from the UAE, including:
RTA export certificate
UAE vehicle de-registration
Certificate of Origin with Chamber of Commerce attestation
Commercial invoice and packing list
Pre-shipment inspection coordination
Technical specifications and VIN verification
Bill of lading coordination with your shipping agent
Comprehensive Vehicle Inspection: Every luxury SUV undergoes our 150-point inspection, including engine diagnostics, suspension checks, electronic system verification, and interior and exterior condition assessment.
Detailed Documentation Package: We provide high-resolution photographs, video walkthroughs, service history where available, and a comprehensive condition report before your SUV leaves our facility.
UAE Customs Coordination: Our export team handles all UAE customs declarations and coordinates with port authorities at Jebel Ali or Port Rashid to ensure smooth exit processing.
Pre-Export Preparation: Your SUV is professionally cleaned, detailed, and prepared for shipping, with protective measures taken for long-distance transport.
Shipping and Freight Booking: Altass Motors does not provide shipping services. You must engage your own freight forwarder or shipping agent to handle the physical transport of the vehicle from Dubai to Jordan, typically through Aqaba.
Jordanian Customs Clearance: Upon arrival in Aqaba, you or your Jordanian customs broker must handle import clearance, duty payment, and port release.
Jordanian Registration and Licensing: After customs clearance, you're responsible for registering the vehicle with Jordanian authorities, obtaining Jordanian license plates, and securing local insurance.
Transport from Aqaba to the Final Destination: Whether you need the SUV transported to Amman, Irbid, Zarqa, or another city, you must arrange inland transportation from Aqaba port.
