What rules apply in Dubai?
Orders to Dubai have some rules you need to keep in mind, but don’t worry — we guide you through them:
🔹 No commercial import
Personal groceries are in most cases admitted without extra import duties, provided they are for private use.
🔹 Products you are not allowed to send
Alcoholic beverages, fresh dairy, and products containing alcohol are generally not allowed to be sent to Dubai. Always check the export restrictions yourself.
🔹 Documents and customs
We add all necessary papers to your shipment so that customs in Dubai can process your package more smoothly.
🔹 VAT & import duties
Although personal shipments often do not incur extra taxes, local customs may ask questions. We advise you beforehand to check with the local post office whether there have been recent changes in import rules.
Do you live in Dubai and miss the feeling of the Netherlands? Then you are not alone. The club of Dutch people in Dubai is the community for compatriots in the Emirates. Whether you have just arrived or have lived there for years, this club brings Dutch people together with cosy events, networking drinks, sports activities, and special parties.
Many Dutch people use Dutchshopper precisely to order their favourite products while participating in activities of the Club. Think of a drink with syrup waffles, a picnic with Dutch snacks, or a New Year’s Eve party with typical Dutch treats.
