Customs duties and taxes in Kuwait

Kuwait has no VAT.
Customs duty follows the GCC common tariff (5% for most goods); low-value personal shipments may be exempt — the exact limit is applied by Kuwait customs and the carrier will tell you if anything is due.
The recipient pays any duty before delivery unless the shipment is sent duties paid (DDP).

Checked in October 2026. Customs rules change, so check the current rules before you ship.

Address format for Kuwait

Kuwaiti addresses use the area, block number, street, building (and jadda/avenue if any), plus the governorate (e.g. Salmiya, Block 10, Street 5, Building 20, Hawalli).
Block numbers are essential — the same street name exists in several areas.
A Kuwaiti mobile number (+965) is required for delivery.

Restricted items and product rules for Kuwait

Alcohol and pork products are banned or strictly restricted; religious publications and items that conflict with local laws may be confiscated.
Medicines, supplements and cosmetics may need approval from the national food and drug authority.
Electronics with radio transmitters (e.g. drones, walkie-talkies) can require a type approval.

Documents for your shipment

Prepare a commercial invoice with a clear description, quantity and value for each item.
Use the correct HS code (GTİP) for your products — wrong codes are a common cause of customs delays.
Add the recipient's phone number and email; carriers use them to arrange delivery and customs payments.
Import duties and taxes are usually paid by the recipient, unless the shipment is sent duties-paid (DDP).
For micro-export (ETGB) shipments, Kargobaz manages the ETGB process together with its partners and provides the required documents.
