A deep understanding of the country's import regulations and laws is crucial in ensuring a smooth delivery of goods to the UAE. Only by clarifying these requirements can the legality and smooth clearance of goods be guaranteed. The following documents are required for shipping to UAE:
Ensuring compliance with these documents and standards is crucial. Failure to meet these requirements may result in goods being detained, fined, or face other severe consequences. Importers must exercise caution when preparing and submitting documents.
1. UAE Goods Classification System
Before considering shipping goods to the UAE, understanding the country's goods classification system is crucial. The UAE's classification system follows international standards, categorizing goods based on their nature and services.
2. Restricted Goods
Some goods, such as military equipment, pharmaceuticals, or specific chemicals, may be classified as restricted goods. Understanding these restrictions and obtaining relevant permits are key to ensuring unimpeded transportation of goods.
Ensuring a detailed understanding of the permit requirements for special goods before shipping to UAE is essential to avoid unnecessary delays and issues. Communicating with professional logistics partners and relevant local authorities to obtain accurate information is crucial in ensuring the compliant transportation of goods.

According to the Union's regulations, a uniform customs duty of 5 percent is levied on 1,236 items, in addition to 53 duty-free items. Special tariffs are applied to certain goods, such as cigarettes, tobacco products and various alcoholic beverages. No import duties are levied on samples of goods; foodstuffs, raw materials and related equipment required for local industrial production, medicines, newspapers, books, magazines, ships and commercial aircraft are exempted from customs duties. |
| Value-Added Tax (VAT) |
|---|
| On 1 January 2018, the UAE introduced VAT at a rate of 5%, which also applies to imported goods. The tax rate is zero for sectors such as education, healthcare, oil and gas, transport and real estate. |

When shipping goods to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), choosing the appropriate mode of transportation is crucial. Below is a discussion of the two main modes of transportation, sea freight and air freight, along with a comparison of their advantages and disadvantages.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|
Cost-Effective: Sea freight is generally more affordable for goods over 2cbm, suitable for bulk goods or situations where fast delivery is not a priority. High Capacity: Ships can carry a large volume of goods, making them suitable for large-scale transportation. Environmentally Friendly: Compared to air freight, sea freight has lower carbon emissions, aligning more with sustainability requirements. |
Time Sensitivity: Sea freight takes longer, making it unsuitable for goods with urgent delivery requirements. |

| Advantages | Disadvantages |

Global Coverage: This can reach almost any international airport, providing a wide service range. Precise Tracking: Air freight typically offers real-time cargo tracking services, facilitating easy monitoring of cargo location. |
High Costs: Air freight is more expensive, making it unsuitable for cost-sensitive or bulk goods. Limited Capacity: Air freight is subject to the capacity limitations of cargo planes, suitable for relatively small shipments. |

Considering only the volume of cargo: if the cargo is less than 2cbm, air freight is usually the cheapest; if the cargo is very light (less than 45kgs) and the volume is not too big, we suggest you ship via the international courier such as DHL, FEDEX; if the cargo is more than 2cbm, then the sea freight should be the cheapest.
