How long does a courier from India to Dubai take?
The UAE is one of the closest international destinations from Mumbai, so a courier to Dubai from Mumbai is usually among our quickest. The exact time depends on the service and the emirate; we confirm it when you book. Customs checks on food and medicines can add time.
UAE customs, duty and VAT on parcels from India
UAE customs rules can differ by emirate, so we confirm the details for your parcel when you book. The main points:
- Dubai: eligible low-value shipments with a value (including shipping and insurance) of AED 1,000 or less are exempt from customs duty.
- 5% VAT applies to imports into the UAE, whatever the value.
- Tobacco, e-cigarette products and alcohol are excluded from the duty exemption.
- Other emirates, such as Abu Dhabi, apply their own rules.
- Declare everything accurately, including the full contents and value.
Documents you need: a copy of your photo ID (such as Aadhaar or passport), the receiver's full UAE address and mobile number, and an itemised list of contents with values. Business shipments also need a commercial invoice.
Sending food to Dubai and the UAE
Homemade and branded food, pickles and snacks are popular parcels to the UAE, and we send them regularly. Pack them dry, sealed and labelled, and leave out anything on the UAE banned list below.
- Sealed, labelled packs clear fastest; list each food item separately.
- No poppy seeds (khus-khus), not even inside sweets or masalas.
- No betel leaves (paan) or betel nuts (supari).
- Avoid fresh produce and meat; ask us first.
Items banned in the UAE: check before you pack
The UAE is much stricter than most countries about some everyday Indian items. In October 2026 the Indian Embassy in the UAE reminded travellers that these are banned:
- Poppy seeds (khus-khus)
- Betel leaves (paan) and betel nuts (supari)
- Gutkha, niswar and qat leaves
- Medicines with narcotic or psychotropic ingredients without a valid prescription and, where required, an import permit. These can be treated as a serious offence. Always check with us before sending any medicine.
What you cannot send to the UAE
Along with the UAE-specific bans above, cash, explosives, flammable items, alcohol and tobacco cannot be sent. See our full prohibited items list. If you are not sure about an item, WhatsApp us a photo before pickup.
