The UAE levies import duties on commercial goods depending on:

• Whether the business is registered onshore or in an Free Trade Zone (FTZ).
• Nature of goods being moved.
• Source and destination of the goods being moved.
• Trade agreements between the UAE and exporting country.
• Other laws and regulations.

Tariffs and duties are revised frequently, so we recommend confirming these before exporting. The Customs Info Database tariff look-up tool is available on trade.gov to help estimate duties and taxes. Official UAE resources include the Federal Customs Authority website and UAE Unified Customs Tariff guide.
