Why the BYD Song Plus DM-i sells in United Arab Emirates

Plug-in hybrid SUV: about 110 km of electric range for city work and a petrol engine for the highway, on a grid that may not have a charger.

An SUV is what most private buyers here actually order: enough ground clearance for the roads, five or seven seats, and a footprint that still parks in a city.

The UAE is the highest-volume lane on this list by search demand, and it is as much a distribution market as an end market. Jebel Ali and Sharjah re-export into Iraq, Yemen, East Africa and the Indian Ocean, so one consignment can serve several countries.

How much duty do I pay on a BYD Song Plus DM-i in United Arab Emirates?

How much duty do I pay on a BYD Song Plus DM-i in United Arab Emirates?
Customs charges on CIF — the vehicle price plus freight and insurance — and never on the invoice alone. Base duty is 5% of CIF. 1 further lines stack on top: VAT. Run the numbers through the landed-cost calculator and treat the result as a planning figure: the final figure exists only once customs assesses the specific vehicle.
How do I order a BYD Song Plus DM-i to United Arab Emirates?
Send the model, the model year and the destination port. You get the FOB or CIF price for units actually available, a video inspection before payment, and the document list this market requires. Payment runs on a deposit with the balance against the bill of lading.
What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into United Arab Emirates?
No hard age cap, but vehicles over about 10 years face stricter inspection and some insurers and re-export buyers will not take them.
Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in United Arab Emirates?
United Arab Emirates drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. There is no hard age cap, though older units face stricter inspection and some insurers and re-export buyers will not take them. Re-export from a free zone is duty-free if the vehicle never enters the domestic market; a unit cleared for UAE registration pays 5% duty and then 5% VAT.
What is the landed cost of a 2022 BYD Song Plus DM-i in United Arab Emirates?
Our planning figure is $22,661 delivered and duty-paid at Jebel Ali, Sharjah and Khalifa Port: FOB, ocean freight and marine insurance, then the customs value that comes out of those three, then every levy United Arab Emirates stacks on top of it. Customs assesses on its own accepted value, so read it as the structure of the cost rather than as a quotation — and move the numbers yourself on this market’s duty page.
How long does shipping a BYD Song Plus DM-i to United Arab Emirates take?
RoRo and container sailings leave Shanghai, Ningbo, Qingdao or Guangzhou for Jebel Ali, Sharjah and Khalifa Port. Allow three to six weeks of transit depending on the lane and the sailing, plus one to two weeks for the customs entry at the destination. The booking, the loading date and the arrival window are confirmed in writing before any payment moves.
Can I register a BYD Song Plus DM-i in United Arab Emirates?
United Arab Emirates applies its own age limit and its own pre-shipment inspection. A 2022 unit sits inside that window and is loaded with the certificate this market asks for, which is why we quote the model year rather than a generic “used car”. If the limit tightens between ordering and shipping, the unit is swapped for one inside the new window at no extra cost.
Is a used BYD Song Plus DM-i cheaper to clear than a new one in United Arab Emirates?
Often yes, but not for the reason most buyers expect. The duty band follows engine capacity, while the levy on the vehicle itself is charged differently for new and used units in several of these markets. A 2022 unit lands for materially less than the equivalent new one on most lanes — which is why both numbers are quoted.
