MoCI grants grace period for cars not compliant with Gulf specifications
QNA Doha The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has announced a grace period extending until December 31, 2025, to regularise the status of vehicles that do not comply with approved Gulf specifications. This grace period is part of the MoCI commitment to regulating the local market and ensuring consumer rights, in response to individuals' requests, showroom owners, and online platforms specializing in car sales. In a statement on Wednesday, the MoCI indicated that during this grace period, non-compliant vehicles may be displayed and sold via showrooms or online platforms, provided the vehicle is registered before Dec. 31, 2025. This includes both new and used vehicles. The MoCI emphasized that displaying or selling any vehicle registered after this date, without it conforming to Gulf specifications, constitutes a clear violation of the law and requires the necessary action to be taken against the violating party. This directive is based on Circular No. (02) of 2025, issued by the MoCI, which obliges providers of electronic platforms and car showrooms not to display or advertise cars that do not conform to the specifications approved in the State of Qatar. The ministry stressed the need for all relevant parties to completely cease selling, displaying, or advertising non-compliant vehicles after the deadline, and to ensure strict implementation of the circular to avoid any violations or legal repercussions. The MoCI indicated that these measures aim to create a safe and organized commercial environment and enhance trust between consumers and suppliers, urging all exhibitions and online platforms to fully adhere to the announced instructions.
