The best advice is NOT to bring it; the entire process is not very pleasant. It is doable, but too much hassle. If you still want to go ahead, make sure the car itself is worth it and plan on keeping it forever to make it worth your while. By law, no cars over 5 years old could be imported at all and they measure it from the car's month and year of manufacture and not the model year. By the time you pay shipping, insurance and 5% customs duty, in some cases it is not even worth it. Then you have to deal with its low marketability. Any car not originally sold in Qatar is usually worth 15% to 25% less than its local versions. Finally, even if you are within manufacturer's warranty, the dealers here do not honor it. Best advice...don't. Buy locally.
