Buy Cars from Dubai for Export to Russia

Russia is one of the UAE’s fastest-growing car export markets. Buyers in Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novorossiysk and across the country source GCC-spec Toyota, Lexus and SUVs from Dubai — because the quality is better, the selection is wider, and the prices are competitive even after shipping and customs. Al Rawnaq Motors handles everything on the UAE side: vehicle sourcing from Dubai full export documentation, pre-shipment inspection, and Jebel Ali port coordination. You get the car. We handle the paperwork.

Your Perfect Sourcing Partner in whole UAE

Most buyers only look at Dubai. Smart buyers look at both. Dubai has the largest selection and the most premium inventory.  Just 20 minutes away — has a thriving used car export market with highly competitive pricing on Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi and commercial vehicles. Al Rawnaq sources from both markets on your behalf. You get access to the widest possible UAE inventory at the best available prices, with one point of contact managing everything from purchase to port.

Every Car Inspected, Photographed & VIN-Verified Before It Ships

We Know All of Them
Every vehicle we export to Russia goes through a full pre-shipment inspection in Dubai before it reaches the shipping company. We photograph the exterior from all four angles, interior, engine bay, odometer, VIN plate, and chassis number. You receive this full photo report before the ship leaves Jebel Ali. What you see is exactly what your customs broker receives in Russia. No hidden damage. No odometer discrepancies. No surprises at the border.

Complete UAE Export Documentation, Ready for Your Russian Customs Broker

Your Russian customs broker needs a specific set of documents from the UAE side to file the customs declaration correctly. We prepare all of it in-house: RTA Export Certificate or VCC, original notarised Sales Invoice, Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading, and marine insurance certificate. Everything is sent digitally before the shipment arrives — so your broker can begin preparation in advance and clearance moves faster.

How to Buy a Car from Dubai for Export to Russia

Simple on the UAE side. We manage every step so you can focus on customs clearance and registration in Russia.

1

Tell Us What You Want

Send us your requirements on WhatsApp — make, model, year, mileage range, colour preference, and your budget in USD or AED. We search our Dubai showroom stock and our sourcing network simultaneously. Within 24–48 hours you receive a shortlist of available vehicles with photos, mileage, and pricing. No commitment required at this stage — just a clear picture of what is available and at what price.

 

2

We Inspect & Confirm the Vehicle

Once you select a vehicle, we carry out a full pre-purchase inspection. We check the chassis for accident damage, verify the VIN against all registration documents, confirm the odometer reading, and test the engine and mechanicals. You receive a complete photo and video report before you pay anything. If the vehicle does not meet our standard, we reject it and find an alternative. We will never send you a car we would not buy ourselves.

 

3

UAE Export Documentation Prepared

We handle the complete UAE export process. This includes cancelling the Mulkiya (vehicle registration) at the RTA, obtaining the official Export Certificate or VCC, preparing the notarised Sales Invoice and Certificate of Origin, and coordinating the Bill of Lading with the shipping company. If you are buying from a private seller in Dubai, we manage the ownership transfer and export processing on your behalf. You provide your passport copy once — we do the rest.

 

4

Vehicle Shipped from Jebel Ali

We hand the vehicle over to your chosen freight company or our recommended shipping partner at Jebel Ali Port. Three main routes serve Russia from Dubai. The overland route through Iran and Central Asia takes 18–28 days and is the most cost-effective for Moscow and central Russian cities. The sea-road route via Turkey and Georgia takes 15–30 days and suits southern Russia well. Direct sea shipping to Novorossiysk or St. Petersburg takes 40–50 days and is best for bulk or dealer orders. We advise the right route for your city and budget.

 

5

Your Customs Broker Takes Over in Russia

Everything after the Russian border is handled by your customs broker in Russia. We make their job as easy as possible by sending a complete, correctly formatted document package — digitally and physically — before the shipment arrives. Your broker files the TD-6 customs declaration, pays the applicable duties and fees, and arranges ERA-GLONASS installation and GOST R technical inspection. We remain available on WhatsApp throughout — if your broker has a question about any document, we answer it same day.

Why Al Rawnaq

From Dubai showrooms to your Russian customs broker’s inbox — every step handled.

1

We Source from UAE — More Choice, Better Prices

Most export companies work from a single Dubai lot. Al Rawnaq accesses inventory across Dubai  — the UAE’s two largest used car markets. Dubai’s export market is well established and often prices 10–15% below comparable Dubai stock on the same make and model. For Russian buyers ordering Toyota Hilux, Land Cruiser 70 Series, or commercial vehicles in volume, this price difference adds up significantly across a bulk order.

2

Honest Landed Cost — Including the December 2025 Recycling Fee

Russia’s recycling fee changed dramatically in December 2025 — increasing by more than 50,000% on many vehicle categories. Most Dubai exporters are still quoting Russian buyers using old numbers. We updated our cost calculations immediately when the new rates were published. Before you pay a deposit on any vehicle, we give you a complete Russia landed cost — Dubai price, shipping, UAE documentation, Russian customs duty, current recycling fee, and VAT. No surprises at the border.

3

15 Years, Hundreds of Vehicles Shipped to Russia

We have been exporting cars from Dubai to Russian buyers since before the routes were standardised. We know which freight partners are reliable on the Iran–Kazakhstan corridor. We know what Russian customs brokers need in the document package — and what mistakes cause delays at Novorossiysk. That experience means your shipment moves faster, clears cleaner, and arrives in the condition we promised.

Used Al Rawnaq cars a few years ago with great results! Decided to buy another car now and they were my first thoughts. There's a new finance feature that allows me to search easily for cars that are available to finance via the bank. This reduces the stress on my CPU massively!
I had a fantastic experience with Al Rawnaq motors! I successfully purchased a car in just two days, and their accurate valuation was crucial in helping me negotiate a great price with the seller. Highly recommended for anyone looking to buy a car!

Frequently Asked Questions — Car Export from Dubai to Russia

Everything you need to know before exporting a car from the UAE.

How long does it take to ship a car from Dubai to Russia?

Shipping from Jebel Ali Port, Dubai to Russia typically takes 18–35 days depending on the destination city. Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg are the fastest ports at 18–25 days. Vladivostok takes 28–35 days due to the longer sea route. Transit times may extend by 5–10 days during peak seasons or Russian customs clearance. We keep you updated at every stage.

 

What documents are required to export a car to Russia?

To export a car from Dubai to Russia you will need: RTA Export Certificate, UAE Customs Export Declaration, Original Vehicle Title (Mulkiya), Commercial Invoice, Bill of Lading, Packing List, and a Certificate of Origin. For Russian customs clearance you will also need OTTC (One-Time Transport Certificate) and proof of GLONASS compatibility. Al Rawnaq prepares and verifies all UAE-side documents on your behalf.

 

How much does it cost to ship a car from Dubai to Russia?

Shipping costs from Dubai to Russia depend on vehicle size and destination port. As a general guide: Ro-Ro (Roll-on Roll-off) shipping costs AED 3,500–6,000 for standard vehicles, while 20ft container shipping costs AED 6,000–10,000 and is preferred for luxury or high-value cars. Russian import duties and customs fees are paid separately on arrival. Contact us for a full landed cost quote specific to your vehicle and destination city.

 

Can I export a GCC spec car to Russia?

Yes, most GCC specification vehicles can be exported to Russia. Toyota, Lexus, RAM, Jeep and Nissan GCC-spec models are widely accepted. However, since 2022 Russia requires all imported vehicles to be fitted with ERA-GLONASS — the Russian emergency response system. Al Rawnaq will advise you on GLONASS fitment requirements for your specific model before purchase so there are no surprises at Russian customs.

 

Which port does Al Rawnaq use to ship cars to Russia?

All vehicles are shipped from Jebel Ali Port, Dubai — the largest port in the Middle East and one of the most efficient globally. For Russia we primarily ship to Novorossiysk (southern Russia, fastest route) and St. Petersburg (northwestern Russia). We can also arrange shipping to Vladivostok for buyers in Siberia and the Far East. Your vehicle is fully insured and tracked from port to port.

 

Do I need to come to Dubai to buy and export a car?

No. Many Russian buyers purchase entirely remotely. You tell us what you want on WhatsApp. We source it from Dubai or Sharjah, inspect it, send you a full photo and video report, and handle the complete UAE export process after payment by bank transfer. We coordinate directly with your freight company or shipping agent at Jebel Ali. You only need to be involved once the vehicle arrives in Russia and your customs broker takes over.
