How do I import shoes to UAE? (duties, shipping, MOQ)
Importing shoes to the UAE requires a trade license and, for some products, a conformity certificate (ECAS). Dubai and Jebel Ali ports are common entry points. Shipping by sea is cost-effective for bulk; air for urgent orders.
Customs duty is generally 5% on CIF value, with 5% VAT (not 15% like Saudi). No personal income tax. MOQ from us: 10 pairs per color for in-stock, 200 pairs/style for OEM, 500 pairs/style for ODM. Samples (1-5 pairs) are available.
We supply many UAE buyers with sneakers from Putian and fashion shoes from Guangzhou. Browse our sneakers or read wholesale sandals guide.
