Dubai (Jebel Ali, Port Rashid) Customs clearance
Your shipments must abide by customs laws, rules, and duties when shipping across borders. This entails having the proper documentation in order, abiding by the applicable regulations for products, and paying the right duties for the package's contents for both imports and exports. Clearance typically takes a few minutes or several hours. If the proper documentation is missing or the goods need to be inspected, this delay may last for several days, weeks, or even months.
When shipping over borders, your consignments must comply with customs laws, regulations, and duties. This means having the appropriate paperwork in place, meeting the laws on goods, and paying the specific duties for the contents of the package, for both imports and exports.
Generally, clearance takes a matter of minutes or hours. This can be extended to days, weeks, and months if the correct paperwork is not present or the goods need to be inspected.
Charges and Documentation
Customs charges are made up of duty, the charge applied to imported goods, usually equating to a percentage of the value. VAT, again, is charged at the value but with shipping costs included, known as a taxable import. Additional charges can occur if the goods need inspecting, handling, or storage fees, and even X-ray charges if goods need to be inspected thoroughly.
