What Oman charges on a petrol / diesel (ice) and battery electric (bev)

Assessed on: Customs value under the GCC Common Customs Law (transaction value first); duty is levied on the CIF value. Import VAT is charged on that customs value plus the duty and any other taxes or charges due on import (VAT Law, Article 34).

Charge Rate Calculated on
Customs duty (GCC common external tariff) 5.0% CIF value
VAT 5.0% CIF plus duty
Oman granted battery-electric and hydrogen cars a 100% customs duty exemption, 0% VAT and a waiver of the ROP registration fee for three years from 1 July 2023, "subject to extension". That period ran to 30 June 2026 and we found no published extension as of September 2026, so the figures above charge a BEV the standard duty and VAT. Treat the exemption as expired unless the Tax Authority, Oman Customs or your broker confirms an extension in writing. PHEV, EREV and hybrid models were never covered — the conditions require a fully electric motor or hydrogen engine.
Before you quote: Two traps. First, do not price a BEV at zero duty and zero VAT: the 2023 exemption was for three years and no extension has been published. Second, if the cars come through Jebel Ali and are cleared duty-paid in the UAE, Oman still charges its own import VAT, and duty can be charged again if the UAE duty-paid evidence is missing or does not match the VINs. The fixed MoCIIP permit and certificate fees (OMR 5 each) and ROP registration fees are not modelled here.

About the Chevrolet Equinox

The Equinox is Chevrolet's mid-size SUV, and there is an important sourcing distinction to make. SAIC-GM has built petrol Equinox models in China with a 191 kW 2.0-litre turbo producing 353 Nm through a nine-speed automatic. The Equinox EV, however, is assembled in Mexico at Ramos Arizpe — it is not a Chinese vehicle at all.
