Mercedes-Benz AMG GT for Export from Dubai

The Mercedes-AMG GT is one of the most confusing names in the export business, and getting it wrong is expensive. Two completely different cars wear it: a two-door sports car and a four-door coupé. They share a badge and very little else, and a buyer ordering remotely from photographs and a model name will sometimes receive the wrong body style entirely. Settle that before you export a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT from Dubai, then worry about specification. Dubai stock is deep and spans both cars and most of their engines, which is exactly why the name needs pinning down first. This page covers the specification, the naming, buying and shipping, the export steps, tiers, paperwork and destinations.

Vehicle specifications

The two-door AMG GT is a front-mid-engined sports car with a long bonnet and a cabin set well back, powered by a hand-built twin-turbocharged V8 driving the rear wheels, in GT, GT S, GT C and GT R forms of rising power. It is a two-seat car with a hatchback boot, and it is the one people picture when they hear the name.

The four-door AMG GT, sold as the GT 4-Door Coupé, is a different vehicle on a different platform: five seats, four doors, all-wheel drive on most versions, and a hatchback tailgate. It covers the GT 43 and GT 53, which use a turbocharged inline-six with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, and the GT 63 and GT 63 S, which use the twin-turbo V8. It is a fast saloon in a coupé shape, and it is far more practical than the two-door.

How to tell them apart, and why it matters. Count the doors in the photographs, then confirm the exact designation against the VIN. A GT 53 is always the four-door. A GT S or GT R is always the two-door. Gulf cars are specified for heat, which matters on the V8 versions, and equipment varies widely: carbon packages, ceramic brakes, seat types and wheels move value considerably on both cars.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Export Dubai: logistics and buying process

On OneClickDrive you deal directly with the seller. To buy a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT for export from Dubai, browse the live listings, filter by body style, engine, model year and mileage, then contact Dubai's Mercedes-Benz AMG GT export dealers by phone, WhatsApp or callback. There is no agent in between and no commission added. Confirm the body style first, then the engine, the mileage, the service history and the VIN, and ask for current photographs rather than stock images, including a shot that clearly shows the number of doors.

Two further checks on this model. Ask about carbon-ceramic brakes, which are fitted to many of these cars and are extremely expensive to replace, so their condition is a real part of the value. And ask for the service history: these are performance cars that are often used lightly but stored, and both use patterns leave traces worth understanding before you buy.

For shipping, treat it as a high-value car. Container shipping, usually enclosed, is the normal route rather than RoRo, and the two-door in particular has low ground clearance that needs care at loading. Agree the declared value with your forwarder and insurer up front and keep it consistent across the paperwork. The seller or their freight forwarder arranges the booking, the customs filing and the bill of lading.

Step by step: choose your body style and engine; confirm colour, interior, brakes and options; receive an export quotation covering enclosed shipping, insurance and documentation; secure the booking with a verified payment option; then take delivery worldwide by sea or air. The dealer handles everything from inspection to export documentation and customs clearance.

Export process and requirements

For a used car registered in the UAE, clear any fines, Salik or finance first, with a bank No-Objection Certificate where the car was financed. The RTA then de-registers it and issues temporary export plates and the Export Certificate, which cancels the local registration and replaces the registration card, the Mulkiya. The export is declared to Dubai Customs, and GCC destinations need a Vehicle Clearance Certificate to register on arrival.

For a new 0 km car that has never been registered in the UAE, there is no Mulkiya and no de-registration. It moves on the dealer's purchase invoice, with a Certificate of Origin, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC and the Bill of Lading. Exports are usually zero-rated for VAT when completed and documented in time.

Two destination checks are specific to this car. First, the engine decides your duty band in many markets, and the gap between the inline-six in a GT 43 or GT 53 and the V8 in a GT 63 is large enough to change which car you should buy. Second, the paperwork must name the right body style, because a two-door sports car and a four-door coupé are sometimes classified differently on arrival, and a mismatch between the documents and the vehicle will stall registration.

Available export models and pricing

The Mercedes-Benz AMG GT export price in Dubai depends on body style, engine, model year, mileage, options and condition, so the live listings always show current prices as stock turns over. The cheapest Mercedes-Benz AMG GT export from Dubai is generally an earlier two-door with higher mileage or a four-door GT 43, while GT 63 S and low-mileage GT R cars sit at the top. Options move value a great deal here: ceramic brakes, carbon packages and seat specification can separate two otherwise identical cars. If you want to export Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Dubai stock in volume rather than a single car, tell the seller the body style, engine and quantity up front. Check the model year against your destination's import age limit, which matters on the earlier two-door cars.

Required export documentation

For a used car registered in the UAE: the original registration card or Mulkiya, the RTA Export Certificate and temporary export plates, a bank NOC if the car was financed, clearance of fines and Salik, and insurance for the export plates valid for about 14 days.

For a new 0 km car that has never been registered: the dealer's purchase invoice in place of the Mulkiya, plus a Certificate of Origin.

For both: the buyer's passport or Emirates ID and the seller's ID on a used transfer, the sale invoice showing the price and VIN, the Dubai Customs export declaration, a VCC for GCC destinations, and a Bill of Lading. Check three things on this model: that the documents state the correct body style, two-door or four-door, because they can be classified differently on arrival; that the engine and displacement are recorded accurately, since the duty gap between the six and the eight is wide; and that the declared value is consistent across the invoice, the insurance and the customs declaration. Keep originals and copies, and check the age limit and any Certificate of Conformity requirement.

Key locations and hubs

• Al Aweer Auto Market, Ras Al Khor: Dubai's main used-car and export cluster, though performance stock usually sits with specialist showrooms.
• RTA Tasjeel and Al Aweer centres: de-registration, export plates and the Export Certificate.
• Dubai Customs: the export declaration and VCC.
• Jebel Ali Port, JAFZA: the main sea gateway, and where enclosed container loading is arranged.
• Dubai International and Al Maktoum airports: air freight is used on cars in this bracket more often than buyers expect.
• Overland borders: Al Ghuwaifat for Saudi Arabia and the Hatta or Oman crossings for GCC road exports.

Popular export destinations for the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT

Demand follows service coverage and duty policy. The GCC and wider Middle East is the natural market, with buyers in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq and Jordan, where Mercedes support is strong and a VCC is required. Europe takes both body styles readily, with interest from Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Switzerland, subject to homologation and a Certificate of Conformity. Central Asia and the Caucasus are growing, particularly Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. Across Africa demand concentrates in Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and Angola, where the four-door versions sell more readily than the two-door. Wherever you are shipping, confirm the duty band for your chosen engine, the age limit against the model year, and that the documents name the correct body style.

Whichever the destination, the dealer can match the car, the specification and the paperwork to it.
