Why Legalize a Commercial Invoice for UAE?

The UAE government requires all commercial documents, including invoices, submitted with shipments to be officially legalized. This process verifies that the documents are genuine and issued by an authorized entity in the United States.

Commercial invoice legalization is essential because:

  • It validates the details of the goods being exported.

  • It ensures accurate duties, tariffs, and customs fees.

  • It minimizes customs clearance delays and shipment hold-ups.

Without proper legalization, your shipment could face significant delays, penalties, or even rejection at UAE customs.
