Frequently asked questions when shipping to United Arab Emirates from the UK
Do I need the consignee’s TRN or Emirates ID to clear goods through UAE customs?
Yes. Customs in the United Arab Emirates require that every commercial invoice shows the recipient’s Tax Registration Number (TRN) for business consignments or their Emirates ID number for personal shipments. Missing identifiers can lead to delays.
Does the UAE charge VAT on personal imports, and how is it paid?
Personal-effect shipments under AED 1,000 (≈ £200) are usually exempt from the UAE’s general 5% VAT rate. Any VAT plus customs duty that may be due must be settled by the consignee before release of their goods. Our local agent can assist you with the customs clearance process.
Can I send alcohol, pork products or printed material to the UAE?
There are several different goods/items that are either prohibited or restricted from being imported into the UAE. We recommend visiting The UAE customs authority website for up-to-date information.
