Yes2Qatar, a professional freight forwarder and customs broker in Qatar, ensures that all export paperwork is processed correctly, minimizing delays and ensuring compliance with both Qatari and UAE regulations. Below is a detailed guide to the essential documents required when shipping goods between these two countries.

Certificate of Origin (CoO): This certificate verifies the country of manufacture and must be issued by the Qatar Chamber of Commerce. Yes2Qatar helps exporters obtain and legalize this certificate when required.

Export Declaration (Qatar): A mandatory document that must be submitted to Qatari customs before the shipment departs. Yes2Qatar ensures timely submission to avoid any delays.

Product Conformity Certificate (CoC) (If Required): Certain regulated products such as medical devices, industrial machinery, and electronics may require a CoC to confirm compliance with export standards. Yes2Qatar provides guidance on whether this certification is necessary.

Yes2Qatar does not handle customs clearance in the UAE, so importers must ensure they have the required documentation for UAE customs authorities.

Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI) UAE: Some regulated goods, such as used machinery, industrial equipment, and food products, may require pre-shipment inspection. Importers should confirm whether PSI is required before shipment to avoid delays at customs.
