I may be moving to Quatar in May 2009. I have the same questions as Shaunconnor and Musashi:

1.- Can you import a car to Quatar or not?
2.- What is involved? Is it a headache not work taking on or can it be done?
3.- What import duty, if any, applies?

My car is a right-hand drive bmw and I am considering bringing it simply because I like driving it.

I don't think heat or sand will be a problem, given that the car has been at home in Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
