Importing used Korean cars to United Arab Emirates

The UAE is a global vehicle re-export hub and one of the largest Korean used-car destinations by value. Its free zones (JAFZA in Dubai, Hamriyah in Sharjah) charge no age, mileage or duty on cars held for re-export, so the buyer here is often a trader onward-shipping to Africa or Central Asia as much as a local end-user. Big Korean SUVs — Santa Fe, Sorento, Palisade — dominate the flow.
