United Arab Emirates duty regime

GCC Common External Tariff: 5% on most goods, 50% on alcohol, 100% on tobacco. Preferential rates under India-UAE CEPA, Israel-UAE CEPA, GAFTA (Arab League) and Turkey FTA. Free-zone imports are duty-suspended until they enter the UAE mainland.

Customs notes

· The UAE applies the 6-digit WCO HS with an 8-digit GCC extension used across all GCC states.
· Customs value = CIF. Duty is 5% flat on most tariff lines. VAT is then applied on (CIF + duty).
· Free-zone entities (JAFZA, DAFZA, RAKEZ etc.) can import duty-suspended. Duty and VAT crystallise only when goods enter the UAE mainland - so free-zone re-exports pay nothing.
· Certificate of Origin is mandatory for preferential duty (India CEPA, Israel CEPA, GAFTA). Approved-exporter self-certification is available for India CEPA.
