Saudi Arabia is an LHD market and accepts China-sourced pickups and 4x4s. Standard import duty on vehicles is the 5% GCC common external tariff, with 15% VAT applied on the CIF-plus-duty base. There is no strict maximum-age rule for most passenger-vehicle imports, though SASO/Saber conformity certification is required — confirm current requirements with us before ordering.
