Dubai Customs would like to inform you that the Public Transport Authority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has updated its regulations pertaining to transportation of goods on trucks and passenger transport by buses and taxis on land roads, in line with the necessary safety requirements and standards, and that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will implement all requirements and obligations on trucks, buses and taxis for all carriers including KSA national carriers.
Among the requirements stated in the updated regulations is the service life requirement, as shown below:
| Type of vehicle | Maximum service life of vehicle |
| Taxis | (5) years from the year of manufacture based on operational life from the beginning of manufacture year |
| Buses | (10) years from the year of manufacture based on operational life from the beginning of manufacture year |
| Trucks | (20) years from the year of manufacture based on operational life from the beginning of manufacture year |
You are kindly requested to abide by the above, as effective April 04, 2021 Saudi Customs will not allow entry of vehicles destined for Saudi Arabia territories that violate the service-life requirement.
