Shipping to the UAE

Whatever you’re shipping to UAE from UK, we make it easy with our door-to-door service. But, as international regulations vary for each country, it’s important to be aware of the process. Whether you’re shipping to the UAE or anywhere else, here are a few things to consider:

  • Customs

    When you’re shipping to the UAE, import taxes, or duties might apply to some items and some items might be restricted. Make sure you check the Government’s Customs Website for what is and is not allowed.

  • Paperwork

    As with all international shipping, whether you’re shipping from UK to UAE, you’ll need to fill in a customs form. We’ll provide you with the documents to complete online from your account with step-by-step instructions.

  • Packaging

    Package up your belongings safely and securely to prevent them from getting damaged during transit. For luggage delivery we’d recommend using a sturdy suitcase (we can’t ship duffle bags as luggage shipments) and sturdy boxes, padding, and secure wrapping for parcels to protect any fragile or valuable items.

  • Insurance

    When it comes to shipping luggage to United Arab Emirates, whether you’re shipping to Dubai from UK or to somewhere else, our service includes standard insurance cover of £100 per order. And for more valuable shipments you can add additional cover up to the value of £3000. The insurance cover will protect your shipment against potential loss and damages during transit.

Shipping Luggage To UAE | Sherpr

Shipping luggage to UAE

When it comes to shipping luggage to UAE, using a luggage delivery service, the sturdier the suitcase the better – this goes for hard or soft cases. You’ll need to tuck in all straps, and if that’s not possible tape them down or remove them.  Next, put your labels in a plastic sleeve and attach this securely to the suitcase with cable ties. Lastly, make sure you leave your suitcase unlocked in case customs or the courier need to verify the contents.  

Unfortunately we don’t accept rucksacks and holdalls and we don’t recommend using designer luggage when shipping to Qatar from UK, or to anywhere else in UAE.

Sending boxes

If you are wanting to ship a parcel or moving boxes from the UK to UAE, we would advise you to choose a durable, double walled option. Secure your belongings in place to avoid damage during transit. And make sure that any fragile items are wrapped individually and carefully, then cushion them with bubble wrap or something similar.

If you can, whatever you shipping to UAE, spread your heavier items between boxes and include a copy of your label in the box. This helps with verifying the contents too.
