Wondering how to shop smart or sell successfully on Amazon to UAE in 2025? Whether you’re a casual shopper looking for the best deals or a seller aiming to get your products into Amazon UAE’s fulfillment centers, this guide covers everything you need; from one-click orders to freight forwarding and FBA shipping strategies.
Let’s break it down so you can stop scrolling forums and actually get what you need, hassle-free.
For Consumers Ordering from Amazon to UAE
Here’s how consumers can order from Amazon to UAE easily:
1. Use Amazon.ae for Local Shipping
The easiest way to ship from Amazon to UAE? Use Amazon.ae. It replaced Souq.com and now offers:
- Fast local shipping (1–2 business days)
- Cash on delivery (COD)
- Full support in Arabic and English
- Local return and refund policies
This is your go-to option if the product you want is available locally.
Why it’s great: No customs, no currency confusion, and no endless tracking.
2. Order from Amazon US, UK, or India with Amazon Global
When what you want isn’t available on Amazon.ae, check Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, or Amazon.in. Many products are eligible for Amazon Global Shipping directly to the UAE.
- Look for: “This item ships to United Arab Emirates”
- Delivery: 7–20 days depending on country of origin
- Fees: AED 30–180+ (based on size/weight)
- Duties & VAT: Usually prepaid by Amazon at checkout (5% VAT + customs)
This is still an official Amazon to UAE shipping route and works reliably.
I tested buying a $50 gadget from Amazon.com. Shipping + import fees came to AED 95, and it arrived in 9 days via Amazon Global.
3. Use Freight Forwarders for Non-Eligible Items
Can’t ship that item directly via Amazon Global? Freight forwarders to the rescue.
Services like:
- MyUS.com
- Aramex Shop & Ship
- Global Shopaholics
…provide a US or UK address. Amazon ships there, and the freight forwarder sends it to your UAE doorstep.
It adds a layer, yes, but it opens the door to thousands of “US-only” items.

3. Let Amazon Do the Rest (FBA)
Once your inventory lands in the UAE warehouse:

It’s the complete Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) experience, Middle East edition.
