By Editorial Team5 min read
A checklist for moving wholesale stock between Gulf countries: documents, standards, payment and logistics.
Documents to prepare
Shipments between GCC countries typically need:
- A commercial invoice showing quantities, values and the seller's details
- A packing list
- A certificate of origin where required
- Conformity certificates for regulated products
Protect your payment
Pay to a company account in the supplier's registered name, keep every document, and consider staged payments (deposit, then balance on inspection) for larger orders.

Who pays customs duties?
It depends on the delivery terms you agree. Write the Incoterm (e.g. EXW, DAP, DDP) on the quotation and invoice.
