Federal Customs Authority / Dubai Customs
At the border, the Federal Customs Authority and Dubai Customs share the work. Personal and gift parcels up to AED 1,000 are generally free of customs duty, while a 5% import VAT reaches most goods in this GCC market. For Holi, declare sealed sweets and clothing; do not list open gulal without written UAE eligibility confirmation. Share the full Holi contents list on WhatsApp before booking.
