Muscat: The Royal Oman Police (ROP), represented by the Directorate General of Traffic and the Directorate General of Customs, has announced new regulations concerning the import of vehicles from GCC countries.
Effective July 1, 2025, the Sultanate of Oman will no longer accept the 'the Clearance Certificate' for the import of vehicles.
Instead, importers will be required to present an export certificate issued by the competent authorities in the vehicle's country of registration.
The new measure aims to regulate the process of importing used vehicles into the Sultanate through land, sea, and air entry points shared with other GCC member countries.
The change is in line with efforts to enhance customs procedures and maintain the integrity of vehicle registration systems.
Authorities have urged importers and customs agents to adhere to the new requirements to avoid delays or complications at border crossings.
