What Is RTA Vehicle Export & Import Clearance?
RTA vehicle clearance refers to the official process required to legally export or import vehicles through Dubai under the supervision of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), along with UAE Customs and other regulatory bodies.
This process ensures that vehicles:
- Meet UAE road and safety standards
- Are properly documented for ownership and origin
- Pass technical and physical inspections
- Receive export or import approvals
- Clear customs without violations
- Comply with local and international regulations
Without proper RTA clearance, vehicles cannot be registered, shipped, released from ports, or legally driven. We manage this entire workflow so clients don’t have to navigate complex government procedures alone.
