Jordan clears imported vehicles through the Port of Aqaba and the Zarqa Free Zone, with a pre-shipment inspection required in the country of origin. Tax is heavy on petrol passenger cars but far lighter on electric vehicles, which face their own 3-year age rule from November 2025.
| Age limit | Commercial imports have no strict legal age limit; personal-use imports must not exceed 10 years. From 1 November 2025, electric vehicles older than 3 years (including the clearance year) are prohibited. Hybrid vehicles do not carry the same 3-year rule. |
|---|---|
| Steering | Left-hand drive only; right-hand drive vehicles are not permitted. |
| Import duty & taxes | Sales tax 16% on all vehicles. Special tax: passenger cars 56%, pickups 30%, vans 30%, trucks under 4.5 tonnes 30%, trucks over 4.5 tonnes 0%, agricultural tractors 0%. Income tax 2%. Electric vehicles: 0% customs duty and 0% special tax, plus 16% VAT and 2% income tax — roughly 18% in total. Hybrids: 30% special tax plus 16% VAT and 2% income tax. |
| Main ports / entry | Arrival at the Port of Aqaba by RoRo or container, then transport to the Zarqa Free Zone for inspection, Interpol check, duty assessment and registration. |
| Authority & certification | Jordan Customs; Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Licensing for technical inspection; Interpol VIN clearance. Vehicles must comply with EU WVTA, US FMVSS or GCC standards. Electric vehicles undergo a dedicated battery safety examination. |
| Required documents | Original commercial or purchase invoice, original certificate of title and registration, import customs declaration form, original bill of lading, Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) certificate from the country of origin, passport copy for personal imports. |

Jordan applies heavy special tax to petrol passenger cars, much lighter treatment for EVs and hybrids, a 10-year cap for personal-use imports, and from 1 November 2025 a 3-year cap on EVs. PSI in the country of origin is required. Confirm current rates with Jordan Customs.

EZ Auto is based in China (Zhengzhou, Henan) with 15–20 years in the country's car export trade. We export new and used Chinese vehicles across the Middle East, with sea freight to Jebel Ali, Jeddah, Dammam, Sohar, Aqaba, Umm Qasr and Shuaiba, handling China export clearance and full documentation. Local import clearance is arranged by the buyer or a licensed broker; we provide all paperwork and per-country guidance, including the pre-shipment certification that several Gulf markets require. We do not operate local offices in the Middle East — every car is sourced and inspected in China before shipment.
Real feedback from the importers we serve
I took a Zeekr 9X, a Geely Monjaro and a Deepal S05. Quality is up to standard, prices are fair, and the loading was done even faster than planned. All three cars arrived without a single hitch. Thanks to the EZ Auto team — we will be back. (Translated from Russian)
We received a Geely Galaxy M9 and a Changan CS55. Both cars are new, fully equipped, and everything matches what was agreed. The managers are always reachable and helped organise the delivery. We plan to expand our range together with EZ Auto. (Translated from Russian)
I ordered two vehicles from EZ Auto: a Jetour Dashing and a Jetour X70 Plus. The cars arrived as described and in very good condition. The team replies quickly and follows the file through to delivery. I will do business with them again. (Translated from French)
