Bahrain charges a standard 5% customs duty on most imported goods. Personal effects and gifts usually clear quickly. Bahrain Customs Affairs processes imports through the OFOQ clearance system.
Bahrain also applies 10% VAT (raised from 5% to 10% in 2022) on most goods, on top of the 5% duty. Documents are duty-free. Electronics, clothing and personal goods fall under the standard rate. The receiver settles charges at delivery.
As a GCC neighbour, UAE-to-Bahrain shipments clear customs quickly. We prepare all documentation to Bahrain Customs standards so there are no hold-ups on arrival.
Bahrain is an island connected to the mainland by the King Fahd Causeway (through Saudi Arabia), so air express is the fastest route from Dubai.
Air / express courier is best for documents, samples, gifts and most parcels — DHL Express reaches Manama in 1–2 business days with full tracking. Road cargo via the causeway can be cheaper for heavy or bulky freight, but takes longer (3–4 days) as it routes through Saudi Arabia.
Send us the weight and box size on WhatsApp and we'll quote both air and road so you pick the cheaper one.
