No VAT in Kuwait — Only 5% Customs Duty
Kuwait is one of the few remaining countries in the world with no Value Added Tax (VAT). While neighboring GCC countries like Saudi Arabia (15%), UAE (5%), Bahrain (10%), and Oman (5%) have all implemented VAT, Kuwait has not. This means you only pay the standard 5% GCC customs duty on most imported goods — no additional tax on top. Combined with ForwardMe's tax-free Delaware address (0% US sales tax), shopping from the US and shipping to Kuwait is one of the most cost-effective international shopping experiences available.
GCC Customs Union
Kuwait is part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Customs Union, which applies a common external tariff of 5% on most imported goods. Certain basic foodstuffs, medicines, and medical items are exempt from duty. Tobacco products are subject to 100% duty. The duty is calculated on the CIF value (cost + insurance + freight) of your shipment.
Kuwait Strict Import Prohibitions
Kuwait enforces strict import bans aligned with Islamic law and public safety. The following items are absolutely prohibited: alcohol, pork products, gambling equipment, narcotics, pornographic material, and politically subversive content. Items requiring special permits include firearms, medicines, precious stones, and certain chemicals. Violating these rules can result in confiscation and legal penalties.
Product Standards (KUCAS)
Kuwait uses the Kuwait Conformity Assurance Scheme (KUCAS) for certain product categories. Most personal consumer goods clear customs without issues, but electronics, toys, and certain household appliances may be subject to conformity checks. This mainly affects commercial shipments — personal-use items typically pass through without problems.
