Import Tariffs

Last published date: 2023-11-25

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.
