Questions
What clients ask us
What documents and permits are required to clear my cargo in the UAE?
While standard commercial shipments generally require an Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin and Bill of Lading, specific requirements vary depending on your product type and trade route. Certain commodities also require specialized government approvals prior to arrival.
How are customs duties and taxes calculated for UAE imports?
Customs duties and VAT depend on your HS Codes, declared CIF value and final destination (Mainland vs Free Zone). While general merchandise typically carries a standard rate, exemptions and special tariffs apply to specific industries.
How do temporary imports work for trade shows, events and fine art?
Temporary imports (such as exhibition materials, display units or high-value artwork) can enter the UAE under special customs procedures, such as an ATA Carnet, avoiding standard import duties provided they are re-exported.
