Asset Relocation: Safely Importing Vehicles from Dubai and GCC




In today’s rapidly evolving geopolitical environment, the movement of high-value assets across borders has become increasingly complex. Trade routes are shifting, regulations are tightening, and uncertainty in certain regions is influencing decisions for collectors, investors, and automotive businesses worldwide.

At Supercar Sharing, we closely monitor these developments. As a direct response, we have strategically expanded our Import & Registration Division, with a clear focus on Dubai, Qatar, and the wider GCC region.

This expansion is not just a service enhancement — it is a strategic solution designed for security, stability, and control.




Why Switzerland is gaining importance in uncertain times

Switzerland has always been considered one of the safest locations worldwide – not only for financial assets, but also for high-value physical assets such as:

  • Supercars

  • Collector vehicles

  • luxury vehicles

  • automotive-based investments

With its political stability, clear legal structure and high safety standards, Switzerland offers the ideal framework for safely storing, managing and using vehicles.

We are currently observing a clear trend:

  • Customers want to relocate vehicles from regions like Dubai or Qatar to Switzerland.

  • They are looking for a reliable partner who will professionally handle the entire process.

A specialized solution for vehicle imports from Dubai & GCC

The import of vehicles from Dubai and the GCC states differs fundamentally from classic EU imports.

Unlike in Europe, GCC vehicles require:

  • structured export processes

  • Official deregistration documents and export certificates

  • complex logistical coordination

  • technical modifications for Swiss approval

Errors in this process can quickly lead to the following problems:

  • Delays at the port or customs

  • additional, unexpected costs

  • regulatory difficulties

  • failed approvals


This is precisely where our specialization lies.




Our full-service approach for GCC imports

We have developed a fully structured process specifically tailored to imports from Dubai, Doha and the GCC countries.


Export processing in the GCC area

We organize the entire export process locally:

  • Deregistration of the vehicle (e.g. via the RTA in Dubai)

  • Preparation of all export documents

  • Ownership check and vehicle verification

International Transport & Logistics

Depending on the vehicle and requirements, we offer:

  • Sea freight (container transport)

  • Air freight for particularly valuable vehicles

  • combined transport solutions (multimodal)

We coordinate the entire transport process all the way to Switzerland.

Customs clearance in Switzerland

Upon arrival, we will take over:

  • Import declaration at Swiss customs

  • Motor vehicle tax (4%)

  • Value added tax (8.1%)

  • Preparation of customs forms

This document is essential for admission.


Technical homologation & adaptations

GCC vehicles often do not fully comply with European standards.

We take over:

  • Technical adjustments (lighting, systems, emissions)

  • Individual purchases

  • full homologation

MFK & registration in Switzerland

In the final step, we take care of:

  • Motor vehicle inspection (MFK)

  • Preparation of vehicle documents

  • Insurance processing

  • Issuance of Swiss license plates

Secure storage in Switzerland

For customers who want a structured solution, we offer:

  • climate-controlled vehicle storage

  • 24/7 monitored facilities

  • Maintenance and care

Your vehicle will remain safely with us throughout the entire process.


Who is this service intended for?

Our specialized solution is aimed at:

  • private collectors

  • Family Offices

  • Investors

  • car dealer

as well as to all those who wish to safely transport vehicles from the GCC area to Switzerland.


A strategic solution in dynamic times

This expansion is not a short-term step – it is a deliberate strategic decision.

In times of uncertainty, it is crucial to be able to act quickly and to rely on experienced partners.

With our increased presence in the GCC import segment, we offer:

✔ Maximum security ✔ Full regulatory compliance ✔ Efficient processes ✔ One central contact person for the entire process
