As you engage in the process of car shipping to Jordan, some of the most important questions to consider include:

• Do you plan to permanently keep your car in Jordan or is this just a temporary move?
• Is your vehicle left-hand drive?
• What is the engine size (cc) of your vehicle?
• Is your vehicle for personal use?
• How old is the vehicle you plan to import?
• Is your vehicle diesel, petrol, electric, or hybrid?

When shipping a car to Jordan, you should never assume that your international shipping scenario is the same as someone else’s. These questions and more will determine whether your car is eligible for shipping to Jordan. Your actual tax rate is also based on these details.

Notably, Jordan has age restrictions on imported vehicles. Typically, passenger cars cannot be older than five years at the time of import. There might be exceptions for antique or classic cars, but these often have stricter regulations. Additionally, Jordan requires vehicles to be left-hand drive. Right-hand drive vehicles are generally not permitted for import into Jordan.

Car Shipping from USA to Jordan can be performed using a shared container, a sole container or a roll-on/roll-off service. It is important to find the best solution to meet your shipping needs.

Roll-on/roll-off (RoRo shipping) – Vehicles are loaded onto a ship that contains a cargo area built like a very big parking garage. International RoRo shipping tends to be cheaper as, other than the shipping charge, you are required to pay only port charges and customs clearance charges.

Transit time tends to be faster than with the shared container service, as the vessels depart on a weekly basis.

Shared container service – This method for car shipping to Jordan requires multiple vehicles to be loaded into one shipping container. While there are more fees involved to ship a car from the USA to Jordan with shared container service than with the roll-on/roll-off shipping method, due to the fact that the container must be processed, these charges are shared between the various clients who are using the container. Such fees include a trucking charge, terminal handling charge, customs clearance, and charge for unloading the vehicles at a bonded warehouse.

One disadvantage is that you might face a longer wait before your vehicle departs, as the container must have a full load before shipping to Jordan.

Full container load – You have the added benefit of a fully enclosed container, just like our shared container service, but the 20 ft container is dedicated solely to your vehicle. Since there’s no wait for other cars to be loaded, you’ll enjoy a shorter wait before departure. However, additional terminal handling fees and other charges won’t be shared with other vehicle owners.

Our most selective customers prefer the high level of safety and expediency offered when shipping cars with dedicated container shipping. When your vehicle is received, we’ll photograph and document the vehicle’s condition as well as the loading process. Your vehicle will be loaded using our modern steel loading system, which is not only environmentally friendly, but doesn’t rely on outdated wood ramps and nails that other shipping companies use, which can damage your vehicle.

After your car is loaded onto your own private container, it is locked and secured. This will ensure no one gains access to your car before reaching its final destination. Since the vehicle is fully enclosed in a secure container, we invite our clients to pack and transport other personal belongings inside the vehicle. However, everything must be loaded securely, as we won’t be responsible for loss or damage of any kind.

Once your vehicle reaches its destination in Jordan, our agent will unlock the container, document the vehicle’s condition, and photograph the entire unloading process. Every step of the shipping process is not only handled carefully but documented for your peace of mind.

Compared to our roll-on/roll-off shipping option, enclosed exclusive container shipping is not only more secure when shipping to Jordan, but much faster due to frequent departures each week.

Sourcing vehicles – Overseas clients who wish to buy a vehicle can turn to our long list of car buyers developed in our nearly thirty years in the auto industry, who can find and purchase vehicles for an additional fee or commission.

Other services – Some of the auto transport services we offer in overseas territories include domestic pickup, vehicle import assistance, tracking of your shipment, customs clearance in the USA and a full vehicle inspection report.

Departure Ports – United States

The location your vehicle will depart from depends on the method of car shipping to Jordan, where your vehicle is located, your budget, and which services the nearest port offers. We have multiple departure locations from which we can ship cars from the USA, including Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Miami, Savannah, and more.

Destination Ports – Jordan

Here are the entry ports in Jordan that we can ship a car to.

Before shipping to Jordan, the undercarriage of your car must be cleaned and free of foreign soil to prevent the introduction of invasive plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. This can be accomplished through steam cleaning or other thorough cleaning methods.

CFR Classic can assist with finding an appropriate cleaner to help ensure you comply with this requirement before car shipping to Jordan. We do not recommend washing the interior of the vehicle as it can cause mold during transport. Vacuuming the interior is usually more than sufficient prior to car transport.

All cars imported into Jordan from the U.S. must be registered with the Jordanian Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Department (DVLD). Once your car has been cleared through customs and you have paid all of the relevant import duties and taxes, you will receive a Customs Clearance Certificate from Jordanian Customs.

Once the vehicle has arrived in Jordan, it will need to be inspected at an authorized vehicle inspection center to ensure it meets the required Jordanian safety and environmental standards. Once your vehicle has passed this inspection, you will receive a valid inspection certificate.

Once you have this inspection certificate, you will need to register your vehicle at the local vehicle registration office. Before registering your vehicle, you must ensure that you have a suitable Jordanian insurance policy in place that meets all local requirements.

In order to register your car with the Jordanian authorities, you will need to gather together all of the necessary documentation, including:

• Ownership Certificate/Original Title
• Vehicle Registration Document (from the vehicle’s country of origin)
• Original Bill of Lading
• Passport, Driver’s License, and/or Residence Permit (to prove your identity and residency status in Jordan)
• Customs Declaration/Clearance Statement
• Proof of Payment of Jordanian Taxes and Duties
• Valid Inspection Certificate
• Proof of Valid Jordanian Insurance
• Certificate of Conformity (COC) (if available)

In order to register your vehicle in Jordan, you will need to pay the necessary registration fee. This fee may vary and is typically calculated based on your car’s specifics (like engine size) and includes charges for registration processing, license plates, and other relevant administrative costs.

After presenting this documentation and paying the relevant registration fee, you will be issued with a registration certificate and Jordanian license plates.

More information about the registration process can be found here on the Jordanian government’s vehicle registration page: https://eservices.dvld.gov.jo/index.html
