The United Arab Emirates is currently the
second largest economy in the Arab world, behind Saudi Arabia. With many major
British companies operating in the UAE and more and more British people moving
there, it has become one of our most popular destinations for parcel delivery.
Whilst parcel delivery to United Arab Emirates is straight forward, there are a few important pieces of information
it is worth being aware of in advance.
Dangerous, Hazardous & Restricted Items
When sending things abroad, there are
certain items that are classed as Dangerous and Hazardous which can under no
circumstances be sent. You can find a comprehensive list of these items here
as sending a dangerous or hazardous item could result in you receiving a £100
fine.
There are also restricted items that have
varying restrictions depending on the carrier or the country. For further
information on individual carrier’s restrictions for sending to the UAE, take a
look at our UAE Information page.
Customs Information for the United Arab Emirates
With the United Arab Emirates being out of
the EU, anything sent there will be required to go through customs clearance.
When you book your parcel delivery with Transglobal Express, we will generate
the necessary documentation for you based on the details you provide during
booking. It is important that you be as detailed and thorough as can with the
information you provide to prevent any unwanted delays with customs clearance.
You can find more information on the UAE customs website.
Sending Documents to the United Arab Emirates
Our UPS Envelope service can save you over 50% of the normal cost of delivery when you need
to send documents to the UAE. With prices starting at just £14.95, it’s
available for documents weighing up to 0.5kg and fit in to a UPS branded
envelope.
Transit Times to the United Arab Emirates
Our express services can deliver a parcel
to the UAE in only a couple of days. We also have cheaper economy services
which take a little longer, usually about 4 days providing there are no
problems with customs clearance.
If you are sending your parcel to or from a
remote area, additional time may be required. For a more accurate estimate you
can use our transit time calculator.
