Will Binoculars make it through Qatar Customs?
By ShoshasMuseBatou •
Have any of you ever brought binoculars in Qatar? Or shipped them into the country via UPS/ Aramex? I'm trying to get in 16x70 Astronomy Binoculars but was informed of a possible Qatari Customs ban on such gear. Any views?
Dear MLK
Many thanks for your response and thank you or taking the time to write back. I will now check with Customs and try and also get QSC's approval.

Hi just for info, i bought from a trip from Hungary a large telescope 200/1000 skywatcher with stars and planet tracking system EQ5 mount etc.. two large boxes and i got it stuck only one day in the customs. They kinldy allowed me to take it after i went to Qatar Scientific Club to get a certificate from them...This certificate had to be issued only by the Sheikh, head of QSC... Fortunately i could get the whole process done in one day... Ask for the customs to write you in arabic what they need in case if you go through the same process..
In the custom, they could not really understand the purpose of this telescope, and some did not even know what it was ! Despite the documentations etc...
Hope it can help
