The UAE is the biggest used-parts export hub in the region — and the whole flow can run from your phone.
Here's exactly how exporting used car parts from the UAE works in 2026.
What you need: the documents
- Commercial invoice — issued by the seller (LLC) with description, value and destination country
- Certificate of origin — from the Chamber of Commerce of the emirate
- Packing list — parts, weights, dimensions
- Bill of Lading — your contract with the shipping line
- Export permits — not needed for most parts; airbags and parts containing fluids require special handling
Ports and routes
| Origin | Port | Typical destinations |
|---|---|---|
| Sharjah (Sajaa) | Hamriyah | East & West Africa, Central Asia |
| Ajman (IA2) | Ajman Port | Africa, GCC |
| Dubai (Al Quoz) | Jebel Ali | Asia, Europe, Africa |
What it costs (typical, per container)
- 40ft container freight: 2,500–4,500 AED depending on destination
- LCL consolidation: 15–25 AED per cubic metre
- Customs inspection: 200–500 AED
- Clearing agent: 800–1,500 AED per shipment
Mistakes that cost money
- Ignoring destination rules — emission parts and airbags are restricted in many countries
- Not insuring the cargo — 0.5–1% of the value, cheap insurance against container damage
- Buying without inspection — video-call verification on expensive engines is non-negotiable
- Wrong packing — engines need oil drained and wooden crates; wet parts get rejected at customs
