Shipping from Türkiye to the UAE — air freight to Dubai, customs cleared to the door

BASMA Global ships by air from Istanbul to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and every emirate — customs cleared and delivered to the door. We handle the clearance procedures and paperwork; you hand over the goods in Türkiye and receive them cleared at the recipient's address. In Dubai we operate two warehouses (Umm Ramool and Al Qusais) and a fulfillment warehouse with our partner SMSA, so stores selling in the UAE can store goods, prepare orders, deliver and collect cash on delivery.

Who this page is for

  • Traders and online stores buying in Istanbul — accessories, clothing, cosmetics, supplements, honey, foodstuffs — in small or large quantities.
  • Travellers with excess baggage and individuals sending parcels, from 0.5 kg, at the lowest published per-kilo rate among our destinations ($3.40/kg from 50 kg).
  • Stores selling in the UAE that need storage in Dubai, order preparation, door delivery and cash on delivery. Fulfillment (Arabic)

How it works

  1. Pickup in Istanbul. We collect from any district of Istanbul — hotel, apartment or your supplier's warehouse. The pickup fee depends on location and quantity and can be free; our team confirms it before pickup. From other Turkish cities, send parcels to us with MNG Kargo or Aras Kargo using BASMA's discount code.
  2. Weighing and packing check. Basic packing is the sender's responsibility; if the shipment needs reinforcement or special packing we tell you the cost before it flies.
  3. Flight. We usually fly three times a week: Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We tell you the departure date.
  4. Customs clearance and delivery. We handle the clearance procedures and paperwork and deliver to the door.

What we need from you

  • Product type and quantity (or weight and dimensions).
  • Pickup address and time in Istanbul.
  • Recipient name, address and mobile number.
  • Supplier invoice or packing list if available — it speeds up the requirements review.

Batteries

Under our shipment-acceptance policy, batteries are not accepted in air freight — separate or inside a device, including phones.

Delivery time to the UAE

  • Personal shipments and excess baggage: usually 2–5 days from the actual flight departure to your address; it can be longer depending on destination procedures.
  • Commercial cargo: our team gives a time estimate for each shipment after reviewing the goods, quantity and documents — we do not publish a general figure for commercial cargo to the UAE.

Cosmetics, supplements and honey to the UAE

This is a restricted category subject to approval by the competent authority under UAE regulations. We ship cosmetics, supplements and honey to the UAE customs cleared to the door, handle the clearance procedures ourselves, and tell you after reviewing the product and destination whether a specific document or approval is needed. Our team prices each such shipment individually. Cleared goods (Arabic)

Customs in the UAE

The customs framework is federal, and each emirate has a local customs department that carries out the procedures. We review the requirements of your destination emirate with you before shipping and carry out the clearance procedures and paperwork on your behalf. For personal shipments, destination duties and taxes are paid by the recipient.

Cash on delivery in the UAE
