Shipments valued up to 1000 USD to consumers are possible. Shipments worth more can only be send to consumers that are permanent residents and are in possession of a IQAMA (comparable to our BSN number).

Documents

Document shipments (not dutiable) are limited to real documents such as certificates and invoices - with no commercial value.

As soon as something has a commercial value (eg books, magazines, photos and data carriers), the shipment is dutiable.
