Dubai (UAE) rules to know before you pack
Medicines need a permit
The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) runs an online e-permit service for importing medicines for personal use. Controlled medicines need special approval. Always send us the medicine names first.
Khus khus (poppy seeds) is banned
Poppy seeds are prohibited in the UAE, even in small kitchen quantities. Leave them out of food parcels and spice packs.
Items against UAE law are refused
Pork products, alcohol, narcotics and adult material are not accepted. If you are unsure about an item, ask us.
A UAE mobile number is essential
Delivery companies in the UAE call the receiver to arrange delivery. A working UAE mobile number, and sometimes the receiver’s Emirates ID number, helps the parcel clear and reach the door.
Documents needed
- Your ID proof (KYC): a copy of your Aadhaar, passport or PAN card. Courier exports from India are declared electronically under CBIC’s courier regulations, and the sender’s identity is part of that declaration.
- Contents list: every item with quantity and a fair value, for example “3 cotton kurtas” or “1 kg mango pickle, homemade”. Mark gifts as gifts.
- Receiver’s details: full name, building or villa name, flat number, area, emirate, a working UAE mobile number and, if asked, the Emirates ID number.
- Business shipments: a commercial invoice, plus the exporter’s IEC and GST details where they apply.
More detail in our guide to documents for international courier.
Packing tips for Dubai and the UAE
- Use a strong, right-sized carton. A box that is too big adds volumetric weight.
- Seal jars with cling film under the lid, tape the lid, then double-bag each jar in zip-lock bags.
- Vacuum-seal or double-bag sweets, snacks and spices so smells and oil stay inside.
- Wrap fragile items separately and fill every gap so nothing moves.
- Write the receiver’s address and phone clearly, and put a copy inside the box.

How the price works

Volumetric weight is length × width × height (cm) ÷ 5000. For example, a 50 × 54 × 34 cm box has a volumetric weight of 18.36 kg, even if it weighs less on the scale. Try your box:
