Luggage Shipping to United Arab Emirates from the USA

When preparing your shipment to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), it’s essential that your package is securely packaged in line with our Packaging Guidelines. Please ensure that your shipment meets these requirements before sending your items internationally. Your shipping label must be firmly attached to your package with the UAE delivery address and all relevant details clearly visible. We also strongly recommend placing an additional label inside your shipment to ensure identification, should the original label become damaged in transit. Additionally, always double-check that your shipment’s measurements and weight are accurate and match the details you provided when booking your delivery service to the UAE.

It’s very important to review our Prohibited Items list before sending your shipment, as there are many restricted items that cannot be shipped to the UAE. You should also consult our Non-Compensation Items list. Whilst these items may be sent, they are not eligible for compensation should loss or damage occur. Please keep this in mind when preparing fragile or high-value shipments.

Deliveries in the UAE can be tracked easily via our online tracking system, so you can follow your shipment’s journey at every stage. Couriers deliver Sunday to Thursday between 9am and 6pm, excluding public holidays. For a successful delivery, please ensure that the delivery location is accessible. In apartment buildings, residential complexes, or hotels, packages are typically delivered to the reception area, so please make sure doorbells and buzzers are working. Please also be aware that courier drivers cannot contact you directly, as they are not issued with work phones. Whilst we deliver throughout the UAE, deliveries to remote areas may take longer, so be sure to factor in extra time for such regions.

All international shipments to the UAE will go through customs inspections by UAE Customs authorities. A complete customs declaration form is always required, including full details of your shipment contents. You will also need to provide a passport copy, and customs may request additional documentation if necessary. Don’t worry – when you book with My Baggage, we generate all the required customs forms for you based on your booking information, which you can complete online in ‘My Orders’. Please note that your shipment must remain unlocked during transit for security and customs checks. Customs clearance fees typically range between 70 and 100 AED, and UAE Customs may apply additional duties depending on the declared values in your customs forms. If fees become due, our courier partner will contact you with a breakdown of costs, and payment can be made online or by phone to help ensure smooth and fast clearance.

Shipping to the UAE with My Baggage is quick and convenient, with both express and economy options available. You’ll be given a timeframe estimate when placing your booking. However, we always recommend allowing extra time for unforeseen delays, especially as customs checks can sometimes extend delivery times. For this reason, we don’t recommend sending important time-sensitive items to the UAE.

Please note some important information when sending shipments containing personal effects to the UAE: customers may be asked for travel or flight information and sometimes proof of entry into the country, such as a passport entry stamp. You must be physically present in the UAE before your shipment can clear customs. Additionally, food items should not be included in your luggage due to strict customs restrictions.
