Delivery times to UAE
Local fulfilment reaches most of the country in 1-3 days. Direct-from-Asia shipping usually takes 7-14 days, which is slow relative to local competition.
Import duties & customs
A customs duty applies above the low-value threshold and VAT applies on most goods. Verify the current threshold and VAT treatment with UAE Federal Customs and the FTA.
What sells well in UAE
Demand in UAE is strongest across consumer electronics, luxury-look accessories, home decor, beauty & skincare, baby & kids. These categories hold up because they combine repeat purchase behaviour with shipping economics that still leave a margin after local delivery.
