Dubai Customs instalment facilitation deadline set for 30 September 2026

Dubai Customs has issued Customs Declaration No. (14/2026) concerning temporary facilitation for instalment payment of customs duties due on import declarations. This facilitation represents an opportunity for eligible importing companies to manage their customs duty obligations through an approved instalment mechanism. The final deadline for submitting applications is 30 September 2026. Eligible companies should review their outstanding customs duties and verify eligibility promptly. Companies whose applications are approved must ensure strict compliance with the approved payment schedule, as failure to meet required payments may result in cancellation of the facilitation, recovery of outstanding amounts, and application of relevant legal and regulatory measures. Importers and businesses engaged in international trade are advised to review Customs Declaration No. (14/2026) at the earliest opportunity to assess whether the facilitation applies to their circumstances and outstanding obligations.
