Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between LC (Credoc) and a regular wire?+

An LC (Credoc) is reserved for licensed dealers and guarantees payment against documents. For an individual importing a car, a standard international USD wire is enough. It's simpler, cheaper, and accepted by customs.

How long does the wire take?+

Between 3 and 7 business days depending on your bank. SWIFT USD transfers route through a New York correspondent bank before reaching the UAE.

What bank fees should I expect?+

Around 0.5 to 1% of the transferred amount on the Algerian side (commission + SWIFT fees), plus 30 to 50 USD at the correspondent bank.

Can I pay in EUR instead of USD?+

Yes, but USD flows more smoothly for UAE purchases: the UAE dirham is pegged to the dollar, so it's a single conversion. EUR adds an extra EUR → USD → AED hop with extra fees.
