Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from UAE importers working with China24.
How long does shipping from China to UAE (Dubai) take?
Sea freight from major Chinese ports to Jebel Ali Port (Dubai) takes 16–22 days — one of the fastest China-Gulf routes due to direct shipping lines. To Abu Dhabi port it's 18–24 days. Air freight to Dubai International Airport takes 4–6 business days.
What are the import duties for goods from China to UAE?
UAE levies a standard 5% customs duty on most imported goods. Many Free Zone imports (Jebel Ali Free Zone, DAFZA, etc.) are duty-free. VAT is 5% on mainland UAE transactions. We calculate your full landed cost before you commit to any order.
Can I import goods duty-free through a UAE Free Zone?
Yes. UAE has over 40 free zones where goods can be stored and re-exported without customs duties. Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) is the most popular for China imports. If you plan to sell in mainland UAE, goods are subject to 5% duty upon transfer. We advise on the optimal structure for your business.
