How it works

How it works, from the factory to Beirut

  1. Pick the car and the trim from the list. A price is shown only when the quote behind it is less than ninety days old; otherwise the car says "on request".

  2. We confirm the car, the colour and the add-ons with the exporter and send one quote. The car, the work in China and the sea freight each sit on a line of their own.

  3. You pay against the pro-forma invoice, on the terms written in it.

  4. The car goes from the factory to our installation partner near the export port. Film and colour go on there; the technicians set up the electronics; the work is photographed and filmed for you.

  5. It is loaded as dangerous goods, as every electric car has been since January 2026, and sails for about a month.

  6. In Beirut a licensed clearing agent handles customs. A new electric car pays no customs duty under the 2026 budget law; VAT and the import fee still apply.

  7. You collect the car finished, as quoted.

No customs duty on a new electric car

Under Lebanon's 2026 budget law, a new electric car pays no customs duty and no excise, and the first registration fee is cut. VAT and the import fee still apply. This is for new cars. Whether a car first registered in China counts as new is a customs ruling we confirm with the clearing agent before you commit.

Lebanon Budget Law 2026, as checked in November 2026. Rules change; we confirm the current ones with the clearing agent for each car.
