United Arab Emirates FAQ
Can I register a Japanese right-hand-drive car in the UAE?
Generally no — the UAE requires left-hand-drive vehicles for local registration. Our UAE partners use Jebel Ali for re-export to right-hand-drive markets such as Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
Can you ship to Jebel Ali and on to Africa?
Yes. We ship to Jebel Ali for your re-export business, or directly from Japan to the final African port if that is cheaper for a given unit.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Most partners start with a single trial unit to check the numbers, then order regularly.
How does payment work?
You pay a deposit of 10% of your maximum bid by T/T before we bid. After a win, the balance is paid against an invoice from MOBIC Co., Ltd. We never request payment to personal accounts.
Do you deliver to the door or clear customs?
No. We deliver to your destination port by RoRo or container. Customs clearance and inland delivery are handled by you or your clearing agent.
