Package forwarding from India to United Arab Emirates
The UAE has the largest Malayali community outside India, and almost everything people miss is a few clicks away on an Indian website that will not ship to Dubai. A free Indian address solves that.
What people in the UAE order from India
- Kerala groceries, spices and snacks
- Malayalam books and magazines
- Kasavu and wedding wear for functions back home
- Ayurvedic and herbal products
- Wedding shopping consolidated into one shipment
Flights between Kerala and the Gulf are frequent, which is why this is our fastest forwarding route.
We deliver door to door across United Arab Emirates, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah.

Shipping from India to United Arab Emirates — questions
How do I shop Indian websites from the UAE?
Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Pala, Kerala with your own suite code. Use it as the shipping address at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and most other Indian stores. When your parcels reach us we let you know, and you choose when to have them forwarded to the UAE.
How long does delivery to the UAE take?
Typically 4 to 8 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.
How much can I save by combining parcels?
International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight — savings of up to 80% against shipping each order on its own are normal.
Will I pay customs duty in the UAE?
Customs duty is typically around 5% of the CIF value; many small personal shipments clear duty-free. Declare medicines accurately — the UAE strictly controls narcotic and psychotropic ingredients. Duty is charged by the customs authority in the UAE, not by India Rabbit.
What can I not forward to the UAE?
Prohibited for United Arab Emirates: Alcohol and pork products; Non-Islamic religious idols, statues, and material offensive to Islam; Narcotics, CBD, and cannabis products; Pornographic, gambling, and politically sensitive material; E-cigarettes and vaping liquids (restricted); Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones. Check before you order — these are refused at customs or by the airline.
How long will you hold my parcels?
30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.
Do I need an Indian card or phone number?
For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
