RIYADH — The Zakat, Tax, and Customs Authority (ZATCA) has introduced a self-service option for individuals importing personal vehicles through land and sea customs ports.

This new feature allows users to complete the entire import process online via the ZATCA website.

To initiate the process, individuals must register on the ZATCA website and select the "Vehicle Import for Individuals" service.

They can then create a new request by entering vehicle details, providing the customs declaration, uploading required documents, and submitting the application. ZATCA clarified that the service is optional and not mandatory.

A comprehensive User Manual is available on the website to guide individuals through the steps for submitting personal vehicle import requests.

Users can also review import regulations and requirements through a dedicated section on the ZATCA website.

This initiative is part of ZATCA’s ongoing efforts to streamline customs procedures, enhance service efficiency, and provide a smoother and more flexible customs clearance process for individual importers.
