International: Kuwait

OverviewOverview & Scope

This research did not confirm a distinct mover-side licence or vehicle authorization specific to international road transport in Kuwait, beyond the domestic commercial license and General Traffic Department approval already covered on the Kuwait page. A mover that operates its own vehicles across a Kuwaiti land border should ask the General Traffic Department directly whether any additional vehicle authorization applies. Where a mover subcontracts the cross-border carriage, the carrier’s own licences cover the transport it performs, and the mover should use carriers that hold the licences that transport requires.
