How much does it cost to send a parcel to Dubai?
The price depends on the size and weight of your shipment, the service level you choose and where in the UAE it is going. We quote a clear, flat price before we collect. For larger boxes the charge is based on whichever is greater, the actual weight or the dimensional (volumetric) weight, so packing efficiently keeps the cost down. Use the quote form or call (647) 534-4630 for a price in minutes.
Customs and duty when shipping to Dubai
Every shipment entering the UAE is assessed by the customs authority there. Duties and taxes are set by them, not by us, and depend on the type of goods and their declared value. Documents are usually straightforward, gifts and personal effects are assessed on value, and commercial imports carry additional requirements. Tell us what you are sending and who is receiving it, and we will confirm what is needed before you pack.

Why send to Dubai with Smart Save
You get door pickup across the GTA, honest flat pricing agreed before we collect, the customs paperwork prepared for you, and a real person who answers the phone. We are a family-owned Brampton courier, not a call centre, so the person who quotes your shipment is the person you can ask about it later.
Transit times
Transit time depends on the service level and the destination in the UAE. Express options are fastest for urgent items, while economy costs less and takes longer. Clearance times vary, so we confirm a realistic window when we quote rather than promising a date we cannot control.
Seasonal note
Volumes rise before Ramadan and Eid and through the winter months, and customs is busier with them. Send a week or two earlier than usual so your parcel arrives in good time.
