Dear forumites, I have a couple of questions as follows: 1. I heard that expats can carry 4 bottles of wine into UAE or 2 bottles of liquor the first time they enter the country. Is this true? If not, what is the regulation? 2. Can a regular home phone (used in USA ) work in UAE? I really like my ph...

Thank you both for the response. So 5 bottles of wine each person entering Dubai airport. What about liquor? BTW, how much does a regular bottle of wine(US made or Australian made)cost in the supermarket? Will carrying Bible and other Bible-related books be a problem? Are they gonna be confiscated a...

I am wondering if anyone knows the policy or website regarding how much tax/duties you need to pay to the UAE customs for the personal items (books and other personal belongings) shipping from other countries (USA) to Dubai.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks alot, rudeboy. All the items will be shipped through ocean freight. Does this 5% duty applies to both ocean-shipped personal items at the port customs and carried and checked baggage at the airport customs? So what about books and clothes? Are they regular trading items? What about computer? ...

Thanks alot, rudeboy. I won't bring any naught stuff :D So, if I carry my labtop with me, I need to pay duty, what's the percentage of my labtop value? Do I need to have the purchase receipt of the laptop with me? or just claim a number? As to the books, I get lots of textbooks for teaching college ...

Will I be able to get access to my USA online bank account and credit card websites (Chase, American Express, and etc) in DUBAI?

What types of websites are usually blocked by the government there?

Thanks.

What's the percentage rate of processing fee that will be charged for the wire transfer? Thanks.

I am still in the US, and I don't know the practice of banks in UAE in this regard. Thank you for any input.

uaer

Thanks. The reason I am asking is that I will have some credit card payment to make after I come to Dubai. I need to transfer some money from my UAE bank account to my USA bank account to make the payment.

uaer

You mean a regular first-class mail sent to the credit card company in the USA? How long does it take to get there?　Ｔｈａｎｋｓ．

I still have some space in my baggage. So could I bring things as follows? 1 Desktop? (Do I need a power converter 110-220 for the desktop? I love it) 2 Electric hair cutter? (I do lot of trimming of my own hair, professional level, the reason for bringing it with me is not to save money, but enjoyi...

uaer

Thanks for the response. It is very helpful. I have shaver, what about hair cutter?- the one you use to cut hair on the head, not face, sorry about the confusion. Is hair cutter also cheap there? Are power converter (from 110-220)and power adapter cheap? By the way, do woman have to wear long shirt ...

Thanks for the reply.

Camel toes? Why would some women even do that? I rarely saw camel toes in this part of the states, perhaps due to its conservative nature---Missouri.

uaer

Thanks for the info. They are very helpful. I still have two questions: 1. on the packing list that I will give to the shipper, I list the value of each of the boxes that I am gonna ship (e.g textbooks 50 US dollars), I don't really know the exact value of the box containing those items, will it be ...

Dear everyone, I was wondering if you could provide me with some information regarding available transportation service for moving my shipment from Dubai seaport (probably Rashid) to my apartment in Dubai. (a regular taxi cannot accommodate my stuff, volumnwise and weightwise-1 cubic meter and 700 l...

Could anyone tell me based on your experience? There seems to be no Ramadan special offer since I've been to quite a few car dealers. I believe the 2009 car would be the cheapest when they need to get rid of them before the 2010 cars' arrival. The question is: when?

Thanks.

Who are you referring to when you say 1 billion ?! I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out. I am sure you are way too smart to quench your desire to say some of the most blatant racist words, or you might be the most ignorant person in the world to say something like that-----It did take grea...
