Exporting to the UAE
The UAE is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and a top destination for Dutch exporters, especially in the construction, technology, luxury goods, and food sectors. Dubai World Central (DWB) and Dubai International (DXB) together form one of the busiest air cargo hubs in the world.
Customs & Requirements
The UAE has low customs duties (standard 5%) and a straightforward import regime—one of the reasons the country is so popular as a trade destination. However, documents must be completely accurate: missing or incorrect invoices lead directly to delays. Alcoholic beverages, certain pharmaceuticals, and dual-use goods are strictly regulated or prohibited.
