The UAE has a duty-free import threshold; parcels worth up to 1000 AED are not subject to duties and taxes. However, all parcels, regardless of value, are subject to a VAT tax of 5% of the order amount and an administrative fee for processing the tax clearance. Customs payments are calculated including the cost of delivery.

When importing goods worth more than 1000 AED, the following customs tariffs may apply:

• customs duty of up to 7% of the order value;
• import tax of 5%;
• customs release fee 90 AED.

For example, if your order is worth 1100 AED, customs will invoice you:

• up to 77 AED customs duties;
• up to 55 AED tax;
• 90 AED for customs release.

Total up to 222 AED.

Attention! Customs requirements and import conditions may vary depending on the contents of the package. In addition, customs may request additional documents for the release of your parcel. Before placing an order, please check with your local customs office for details. Contacts of the customs offices are available by the link.
