Courier Service from Mumbai to UAE

Courier Service from Mumbai to UAE, Picked Up at Your Door

The UAE is one of the closest and busiest destinations for Mumbai shippers. Families send gifts and festival items to relatives, professionals send certificates and attested documents for jobs and visas, and exporters send samples and goods to buyers in Dubai and Sharjah. Our courier service from Mumbai to the UAE collects from your address, prepares the export paperwork, and coordinates UAE customs clearance until the parcel reaches the recipient.

The UAE restricts several items that are normal in India, including some common medicines, so the contents need to be checked before pickup. We do that before you pay.

UAE Customs, Duty and Documents

UAE customs generally charges duty of about 5% of the goods value plus freight and insurance, and VAT can also apply. The rate is higher for alcohol and tobacco. Gifts and personal items usually clear faster when the recipient’s full name, address and phone are exact and the contents are listed with values. Official information is published on the UAE government customs page. Rules and value limits can differ by emirate, so we confirm the current position when you book.

Shipment type	Typically required
Personal parcels and gifts	Sender’s photo ID; itemised contents with values; the recipient’s full name, UAE address and mobile number. An ID copy of the recipient may be requested
Documents	Sender’s ID; recipient’s name, full address and phone number
Commercial goods	Commercial invoice with HS codes and country of origin, packing list, IEC, GSTIN and export clearance details; the UAE importer’s trade licence and customs code
Medicines	Doctor’s prescription, original packs and generic names; limited quantity. Controlled medicines are not allowed without approval

Our international courier service in Mumbai page explains how pickup and export paperwork work on the Indian side.

Courier Charges from India to UAE

There is no single per-kg rate for India to the UAE. The price depends on chargeable weight (the higher of actual and volumetric weight, length × width × height in cm ÷ 5,000), the service level, the contents and any duty or VAT payable in the UAE. Send us the weight, size and destination city and we quote before pickup.

Delivery Across the UAE

We deliver to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and other cities. Shipments arrive through Dubai and continue with local delivery partners to the door.

Address tip: include the building or villa name, street, area, emirate and a nearby landmark, plus a mobile number that will be answered. UAE addresses often have no formal street numbers, and delivery drivers call for directions, so a reachable phone number prevents delays.
