The car will however have lower resale value
The standards are pretty much similar .. The only issue may be tyres .. Usually , the radiator and cooling systems will be sufficient
@britexpat..thks for your message..but my question here is the car is with american standards..not GCC specs..so will it have any issue?..any idea?
Gin, Leave that idea atonce. You will suffer alot. Better do PhD than just getting the scrap from one place to the other ........................
Better to buy one from here my pal ..
Most countries refer to Kelly's Blue Book to evaluate the current value of the car for import tax. The original bill which maybe five years old doesn't make sense!
The original receipt/invoice stating the value of the car is necessary as the custom’s charge is 5% of the car’s value. Any car that is being imported into Qatar has to be less than 5 years old, it must be left-hand drive and it must meet gulf standards . Once in Qatar the car must be registered with the Traffic Department of the Ministry of Interior within 15 days and the registration renewed annually. You will need to bring proof of purchase, your ID, the filled out registration form (in Arabic), your insurance document, and pay the fee.
