Duty & tariff treatment for The UAE

There is no preferential trade agreement in force yet, a Sri Lanka–UAE CEPA is under negotiation. The UAE applies the GCC common external tariff of about 5%, but many basic foodstuffs are zero-rated; confirm your HS line. Dubai (Jebel Ali) is a major re-export gateway into the wider GCC, Africa and South Asia.

A standard certificate of origin is used; there is no FTA preference to claim today (watch for the CEPA).

Always confirm the current rate. Tariffs and preference schemes change. Check your exact HS line in the UAE Federal Customs, and estimate duty + freight + insurance together with our محاسبه‌گر هزینه تمام‌شده. We don’t publish line-item tariff figures because they move and depend on your precise product and origin proof.

Import requirements for The UAE

Coconut-Shell Activated Carbon is an industrial or horticultural product rather than a foodstuff, so it generally falls outside food-safety registration when entering the UAE. Activated carbon is traded on technical specs (iodine number, ash, mesh); the EU also requires REACH compliance, and water- or food-grade carbon must meet the relevant purity standards (e.g. NSF, EN 12915). Always confirm the exact requirements for your product and grade with The UAE’s customs and standards authority.

Your exporter prepares the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin; see our چک‌لیست اسناد صادراتی for the full set.
