Specific Rules for Auto Parts
Auto parts create a complex customs profile due to the wide variety of subtypes: engine parts, electronics, tires, lighting, brake systems, airbags, fuel components. Each type has its own HS code and import duties. AOG shipments (Aircraft on Ground for planes, similarly for cars: one halted production line or vehicle) require expedited declaration outside business hours — we provide 24/7 coverage for this.
HS Code Examples:
Chapter 87 — motor vehicles and parts. 8708.30 brakes and parts, 8708.40 gearboxes, 8708.50 drive shafts, 8708.99 other parts. Engines: 8407 combustion, 8501 electric motors. Tires: 4011. Airbags: 8708.95. Auto electronics are partially under chapter 85.
Specific Rules for Qatar
No free trade agreement between the EU and Qatar (though negotiations under the EU-GCC framework have stalled). Qatari customs are known for transparent and rapid procedures. For imports into Qatar: legalized Certificate of Origin via the Arab Chamber of Commerce. Doha (Hamad International) is an efficient hub for transit shipments to Asian destinations.
Typical Documents:
Commercial invoice, packing list, Air Waybill, Certificate of Origin (legalized by Chamber of Commerce and Arab Chamber of Commerce), possibly veterinary or phytosanitary certificates.
