Customs process in UAE
UAE Customs has the best efficiency in its customs procedures. If you wish to import Chinese products into UAE then you should know the UAE customs procedure.
The first thing you should do is to get a customs code for your product. You can use this code to calculate the customs duty and taxes levied on your shipment. The second thing is to find out the value of your goods. This can be done by using the CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) or FOB (free on board) method. The CIF method includes the cost of shipping your goods from China to the UAE, while the FOB method does not.
You will need to pay customs duty and VAT on your shipment when it arrives in UAE. Customs duty is a tax levied on imported goods, while VAT is a tax that is levied on the sale of goods and services. The amount of customs duty and VAT that you will need to pay will depend on the value of your shipment.
If you are shipping commercial goods from China to UAE, you will also need to obtain an import license from the UAE Ministry of Economy. This license can be obtained from the ministry’s website.
Once you have obtained an import license, you must submit a declaration to UAE Customs. This declaration must include the following information:
– The value of your goods
– The HS code of your goods
– The country of origin of your goods
– The quantity and type of your goods
– The name and address of the manufacturer of your goods
– The name and address of the importer of your goods
– The name and address of the exporter of your goods
– The name and address of the carrier of your goods
– The port of entry into the UAE
– The date on which your goods will be imported into UAE
After submitting your declaration, UAE Customs will issue a permit for your goods. This permit must be presented to the carrier of your goods when they arrive in UAE.
UAE customs regulations require that all shipments be cleared within 48 hours of arrival. If you are shipping commercial goods, you will need to provide a certificate of origin and a bill of lading when you submit your declaration. These documents can be obtained from your supplier in China.
If you are shipping personal goods from China to UAE, you will need to provide a passport and a visa when you submit your declaration. You will also need to pay a customs duty of AED 500 on your shipment.
It is important to note that UAE customs regulations require that all shipments be cleared within 48 hours of arrival. If you are shipping commercial goods, you will need to provide a certificate of origin and a bill of lading when you submit your declaration. These documents can be obtained from your supplier in China.
Strong Overseas Custom Clearance
Documents necessary for import to UAE (Dubai)
Ability to manage challenging objects with flexibility ensuring a smooth and efficient transport across the world..
Customs clearance is the process of getting your shipment through customs so that it can be delivered to its final destination. To do this, you’ll need to provide certain documents, including:
– A commercial invoice
– A packing list
– A bill of lading (if shipping by sea) or an air waybill (if shipping by air)
– A certificate of origin
The commercial invoice is the most important document for customs clearance. It’s a document that lists the products being shipped, their value, and other important information like the HS code. The HS code is a harmonized system code that’s used to classify and track international shipments. You can find the HS code for your products on the website of the World Customs Organization.
The packing list is a document that lists all of the items in your shipment, their dimensions, and their weight. This is a helpful document for customs officials to have because it helps them verify the contents of your shipment.
The bill of lading (B/L) is a document that’s used when shipping by sea. It acts as a contract between the shipper and the carrier, and it lists the products being shipped, their destination, and other important information. The B/L also serves as a receipt for the goods once they’ve been loaded onto the vessel.
The air waybill (AWB) is similar to the bill of lading, but it’s used when shipping by air. It lists the products being shipped, their destination, and other important information. The AWB also serves as a receipt for the goods once they’ve been loaded onto the aircraft.
The certificate of origin is a document that certifies that your products were made in China. This document is required for certain products that are subject to preferential tariff treatment. You can apply for a certificate of origin through the chamber of commerce in the city where your products were manufactured.
Other documents may be required depending on the type of goods being imported. These could include a sanitary and phytosanitary certificate for food products, a license for controlled goods, or an import permit.
That’s it! Now you know everything you need to know about shipping from China to UAE. We hope this guide was helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to contact with Honourocean.
