Shipping to UAE & GCC
Import Duty & Tax
GCC Unified Customs Law applies a standard 5% customs duty on most goods. Handicrafts typically attract 5%. Some categories may be exempt. India–UAE CEPA (signed 2022) has reduced duties to 0% for many product categories — confirm eligibility for your HS code.
5% UAE VAT applies. Recoverable by VAT-registered UAE businesses.
Customs Tips
UAE imports via Dubai (Jebel Ali port for sea, DXB for air) process quickly. DUTIABLE VALUE = CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Aramex has excellent India–UAE routes and is often the most cost-effective carrier for this corridor.

Common Questions from UAE & GCC Buyers
How quickly can you ship handicrafts from India to Dubai/UAE?
Air freight via DHL, Aramex, or FedEx takes just 2–3 business days from our Chandigarh facility to Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Sea freight via Jebel Ali port takes 10–14 days. For urgent orders, we offer same-day dispatch Monday–Saturday.
Does the India–UAE CEPA agreement reduce import duties?
Yes. The India–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed in 2022 eliminates or reduces import duties on many Indian export categories. Several handicraft HS codes now qualify for 0% duty instead of the standard 5% GCC rate. We confirm applicable duty rates in your quotation.
Can you supply handicrafts for Dubai hotels, resorts, or hospitality businesses?
Yes. We supply Indian handicrafts to hotels, resorts, spas, and hospitality businesses across the UAE and GCC. We offer custom branding, luxury packaging, and large-volume hotel amenity supply. Minimum order quantities are flexible for hospitality sector clients.
