Used engines for buyers in Dubai and Sharjah
Our commercial base. Deals are agreed and documented from Sharjah; the engines are prepared, checked and loaded at the Guangzhou warehouse we work from.
Wholesale onlyRegular orders are one full container — 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, or with gearboxes 45 + 45 / 65 + 65. New customers can make their first purchase from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (LCL freight quoted separately): first-order offer. A second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price. We do not sell single units.
More modelsBeyond the models on this page we hold many more — 488 engine and gearbox families in our warehouse list, always subject to inventory changes. Tell us how many units you need so we can give you the best price: full stock list.
| Engine families that move here | Toyota 2TR / 1GR, Nissan QR25, Toyota diesel, Isuzu light commercial |
| Discharge ports | Jebel Ali |
| Indicative sea transit | From Nansha or Shekou, about 15 to 20 days to Jebel Ali. A band, not a promise: direct services sit at the low end and transhipment at the high end, and your forwarder confirms the actual schedule at booking |
| Container configurations | 20-ft: 90 engines, or 45 engines + 45 gearboxes · 40-ft: 130 engines, or 65 engines + 65 gearboxes |
| Minimum order | One full container in one of those four commercial configurations, with the mix of models chosen by you — or, on a new customer’s first purchase only, from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping available, at list price, with no first-order surcharge (first-order offer). Never single units. Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition), in the mixed loads or a first order. Each load's weight and dimensions are checked when it is prepared |
| Published price range | USD 280 to USD 730 per engine (gearbox not included), FOB Guangzhou |

Nearby lanes we also load for: Saudi Arabia · Iraq. Buyers who re-export across a border should say so at enquiry — the mix and the documents differ.
Import rules: the status of used engine imports in United Arab Emirates, with the official source, is in our import rules atlas; the global market report puts this lane in context.
Sharjah is where the commercial side sits
Buyers in the Emirates deal with our office here: quotation, Proforma Invoice and payment terms are handled locally, in a jurisdiction where a commercial dispute has a clear route. The engines themselves are selected, checked and loaded at the large-scale Guangzhou warehouse we work from.
That split is deliberate: the physical work happens where the engines are; the commercial relationship sits where the buyer can reach it. Prices, container sizes and payment terms for every market are on used engines wholesale, and the full list of 488 engine and gearbox families is on the stock list.
Re-export as well as local supply
A large share of UAE buyers are not the end market — they re-export into Africa, Iraq and South Asia. If that is your business, tell us the destination when you enquire: the right engine mix for a re-export container is not the same as for local counter sales, and the documentation differs too.
Documentation
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, under HS 8407 and 8408, prepared for the destination rather than generically. Compliance-screened lanes are reviewed before quotation.

An engines-only container is 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft, whatever the mix of models. At the prices above, an engines-only 20-ft load to United Arab Emirates runs from USD 25,200 (all HR16DE) to USD 65,700 (all 1NZ-FE) FOB, and an engines-only 40-ft from USD 36,400 to USD 94,900. The mixed configurations — 45 engines + 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft, 65 + 65 in a 40-ft — are priced separately; used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition). Sea freight to Jebel Ali is quoted separately. Most containers are a mix, so your figure sits between the two: build the exact mix in the quoter and the total reaches your inbox the same minute.

Frequently asked
How much does a container of used engines to United Arab Emirates cost?
An engines-only 20-ft container of 90 Grade A engines runs from USD 25,200 for an all-HR16DE load to USD 65,700 for all 1NZ-FE, FOB Guangzhou at our published per-unit prices; an engines-only 40-ft of 130 engines runs from USD 36,400 to USD 94,900. Mixed loads of 45 engines + 45 gearboxes or 65 + 65 are priced separately. Sea freight to Jebel Ali is quoted separately for the lane. Most buyers order a mix, so the real figure sits between those two — the online quoter prices your exact mix in one minute and emails the total.
What is the minimum order for United Arab Emirates?
Regular orders are one full container, in one of four commercial configurations: 90 engines in a 20-ft or 130 in a 40-ft; or, with gearboxes, 45 engines + 45 gearboxes in a 20-ft or 65 + 65 in a 40-ft. You choose the mix of models. The exception is a new customer’s first purchase, which can start from 10 engines (10, 20, 30 or 40), with gearboxes and consolidated shipping available, at list price per unit, with no first-order surcharge, and LCL sea freight from Guangzhou quoted separately; whether we can ship to United Arab Emirates on those terms is confirmed in the quotation. Your second order can start from 45 engines, also at list price, shipped LCL or in a shared 20-ft container; from then on, full containers at list price. Used gearboxes are sold untested and as-is (in their current condition). We do not sell single units; other ratios are a commercial enquiry for sales.
How long does shipping used engines from China to United Arab Emirates take?
Sea transit from Nansha or Shekou runs about 15 to 20 days to Jebel Ali, with direct services at the low end of that band and transhipment routings at the high end; the schedule, route and freight are confirmed when the booking is made, so treat the band as indicative. Before that clock starts, the order moves through two payments of the agreed order total: a 30 per cent deposit starts order preparation and arranges the shipping booking, the engines are checked and documented with supervised video and individual photos, and the 70 per cent balance is settled before shipment. From the deposit onward you get a milestone update at least every five days.
Does ENGICOR have a licensed office in the UAE?
Yes — ENGICOR holds a Sharjah Media City Free Zone (Shams) licence, and the commercial side of every deal sits there: quotation, Proforma Invoice and payment terms. The engines themselves are selected, checked, photographed and loaded at the large-scale Guangzhou warehouse we work from, where a logistics company can coordinate the container and the export documents.
Can I buy single used engines in Dubai or Sharjah?
No. We sell by the full container — 90 or 130 engines, or 45 + 45 / 65 + 65 with gearboxes — or, for first-time buyers, a first order of 10 to 40 engines shipped LCL at list price, with no first-order surcharge; never single units, and orders ship from Guangzhou, not from stock in the Emirates.
Can I re-export the container from the UAE?
Yes, and a large share of our UAE buyers do exactly that into Africa, Iraq and South Asia. Tell us the final destination when you enquire: the right engine mix for a re-export container is not the same as for local counter sales, and the documentation differs too.
