Package forwarding to Kuwait
Kuwait has no VAT and the duty-free allowance commonly applied to personal parcels is KWD 100. The catch is getting goods in: every Kuwaiti seaport sits behind the Strait of Hormuz.
What makes buying from Europe into Kuwait harder right now
Sea freight from Europe is no longer the default
Every Kuwaiti seaport is inside the Gulf, behind the strait. For parcels and a few pallets, flying from our warehouses is the realistic option.
The allowance is for personal parcels only
The KWD 100 allowance commonly applied covers consumer shipments. A business import has no allowance: it is declared and assessed from the first dinar.
Precise tariff codes matter
Since 1 January 2025 shipments into Kuwait are declared with detailed 12-digit tariff codes. A vague proforma is the fastest way to a hold — we check yours against the box.

What a parcel into Kuwait pays (2026)
Kuwait has no VAT. Above the duty-free allowance, most goods pay the GCC common tariff of 5%. The allowance commonly applied to personal (B2C) parcels is KWD 100, and there is no allowance for business imports. We could not confirm the figure against an official Kuwaiti customs publication, so treat it as the usual practice and check the current rule with the General Administration of Customs before an expensive order.
Alcohol and pork products are prohibited. Shipments are declared with detailed 12-digit tariff codes, so describe each item precisely on the proforma.
| Item | Rule (2026) |
|---|---|
| VAT | None |
| Customs duty | 5% GCC common tariff on most goods |
| Personal allowance | KWD 100 commonly applied to B2C parcels (confirm) |
| Business imports | No allowance: assessed from the first dinar |
| Prohibited | Alcohol, pork products |
Customs information updated November 2026. We generally ship DAP: duties, taxes and customs formalities at destination are handled by the recipient. Always check with your country's customs authority. Informational only — not customs or tax advice. The KWD 100 figure comes from carrier guidance and press reports, not from an official notice we could read. Confirm with Kuwait customs before committing to an order.

Why air is the practical route into the Gulf right now (November 2026)
Since early March 2026 the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed to normal commercial traffic: the US and Israeli strikes on Iran began on 28 February, and transits have been a small fraction of pre-crisis levels ever since. Jebel Ali, the region's main container port, handled around 90% fewer containers in the second quarter than a year earlier, and the Red Sea route is still under Houthi threat.
Every Kuwaiti seaport is inside the Gulf, behind the strait, and airlines have suspended Kuwait routes at short notice during the crisis.
For a few boxes or a few pallets, a container with detours, bypass ports and trucking is no longer the tool. Our shipments fly from our warehouses in Europe, the USA, China and Hong Kong. Air is not immune either: airlines operate under EASA conflict-zone advisories, some routes are suspended at short notice and risk surcharges apply. So we do not promise transit times: the quoter shows the services available today and, for pallets, we confirm the routing when we quote.
- Boxes for individuals: buy from European or US shops, we combine them into one air shipment.
- Regular shippers (resellers, online shops): same warehouse, same routine, every week.
- Companies and pallets: we consolidate suppliers onto one pallet and fly it as air cargo.

Shops Gulf buyers forward from (2026)
These are shops we checked on their own websites: none of them delivers to the Gulf, or only part of the catalogue does. With your address in the US, the UK or Spain you buy as a local customer, and we combine everything into one air shipment.
We left out the big names that already deliver to the Gulf themselves, such as Zara, Next or ASOS: there you do not need us.
| Shop | From | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Kohl's | USA | Does not ship internationally; it ships to US addresses only. It may not accept non-US cards. |
| Walmart.com | USA | International shipping only to Canada and Mexico. |
| Argos | UK | Delivers only to UK addresses. |
| John Lewis | UK | “We don't offer international delivery.” |
| Decathlon.es | Spain | Delivers only in Spain and Andorra. |
| El Corte Inglés | Spain | Ships fashion abroad, but electronics, home, sport and baby products stay within the EU. |
| Vinted | Spain, France, Italy, Germany | Cross-border shipping only inside its own European markets — no route to the Gulf. |
| Wallapop | Spain, Italy | Operates only in Spain, Italy and Portugal, shipping only between them. |
Last updated: November 2026. Checked on the shops' own websites in November 2026. Delivery policies change — check before ordering. Some shops refuse non-local cards or forwarding addresses; we cannot guarantee a shop accepts your order.
We declare the real value and prepare the paperwork.
Accurate invoices and customs data, so your parcel is presented as cleanly as it can be.

Thousands of global shoppers trust Resendify
From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
