Buy a car in Switzerland, delivered to Bahrain
Found a car on a Swiss website? Send us the link. We check it, buy it on your behalf, prepare the Swiss export papers and bring it to Bahrain.
Port of arrival for sea freight.
Delivery options to Bahrain
Sea freight. We bring the car to a European port and ship it in a container or on a RoRo vessel to Khalifa Bin Salman Port. You or your clearing agent then collect it from the port.
Customs and taxes in Bahrain
The car is cleared through customs at the port of arrival in Bahrain. Duties and fees are set by the authorities of Bahrain, and there may be rules on the age, specification or certification of imported vehicles. We check them for your listing before you commit and send all export documents to you or your clearing agent in advance.
Gulf countries may also apply their own vehicle conformity checks, so cars built for the European market can need extra approval. Ask us before you buy and we will look at your specific car.
Taxes and rules in Bahrain are set by your authorities and can change. Our notes are general information, not tax advice.
Why buyers in Bahrain look at Swiss cars
Swiss cars must pass regular official inspections, often come with a full dealer service history and are usually generously equipped. When a VAT-registered dealer sells a car for export, Swiss VAT is normally not charged, so you pay import VAT in Bahrain instead of paying twice. Compare the total cost: purchase price, our quote and your import taxes.
