Sending Packages to the UAE from the US

Sending packages from the US to the UAE is easier than you think. We choose reliable couriers, quickly compare rates, and send packages for you. Each courier has their benefits,  some carriers are faster, and some are more cost-effective. We will detail each of the best courier options and help you decide the best for you.

Ship with USPS

USPS is the best option for sending small packages to the UAE. Use this service for non-urgent packages. USPS is easy and simple to use. Priority Mail takes about 6–10 days, while Express is faster at 3–5 days. You can track your shipment from the time it leaves until it reaches its destination.

Ship with UPS 

UPS is known for its speed and reliability. It offers a direct flight to the UAE and provides fewer opportunities for delays to occur. It also provides good customs clearance services. This reduces possible hold-ups at any border.

UPS services like Worldwide Expedited and Worldwide Saver deliver within 2–5 business days. UPS has restrictions on some items, such as liquids, flammable gases, batteries, food, and perishable items. Always check the items restricted by the UAE customs authority to avoid package return. 

Ship with FedEx 

FedEx provides an efficient shipping service. Because FedEx is known for its reliable and fast service, this can be helpful when working with fragile or priority packages. FedEx also provides tracking. 

Select International Priority for fast delivery of 1-3 business days or International Economy for 5-7 days. FedEx includes insurance up to $100 and provides options to increase it if desired. It is a safe option for shipping valuable items.

Ship with DHL 

DHL provides speed, reliability, and great customs support. They offer several services based on time and cost. DHL eCommerce is slower but cheaper. DHL Express Worldwide gets your package in 1-3 days.

DHL also handles customs documentation and clearance very well. It is a great option if you need to send personal packages or products for business purposes.

Why Is Delay Common at Customs When Shipping to the UAE?

To avoid delays, ensure you fill out everything and tell the value of the package accurately. Delays can occur at UAE customs for many reasons. 

• The most common reason is incomplete or missing documents. If your customs form doesn't show the item inside, cost, or destination, it may stop the clearance process. 
• If you are trying to send something that is prohibited, there will be delays, or the shipment may be returned.
• Sometimes, customs agents need further information to confirm the products of your shipment. 
• Customs may ask for proof of purchase or extra documents.

What Is the Fastest Way to Ship to the UAE?

If you need your shipment delivered to the UAE quickly, express air shipping is your best option. Services like UPS Worldwide Saver, FedEx International Priority, and DHL Express Worldwide can deliver shipments to the UAE in 1 to 3 business days. This is great for shipping urgent documents, gifts, or business-related products.

These express services cost more, but they’re best when time matters. They also include full tracking and customs clearance times.

Shipping Restrictions and Customs to the UAE

Check that you are allowed to ship items to the UAE before you ship. The UAE has specific rules about what is and is not allowed to be shipped. Items like liquids, batteries, flammable materials, food items, and electronics may be restricted. If you send anything that is not permitted, you will either have your item delayed in customs or returned. 

Most shipping companies will provide you with assistance in completing the form. Shipixy helps by providing the complete process guide. This can make the package clear customs quickly and with fewer issues.
