QATAR CUSTOMS

By Doha2Dubai

Hi All,

I would like to bring some personal belongings about 18 Kgs from USA by USPS. My brother is the one who will be sending it to me. My brother have been told by USPS that i have to visit QATAR CUSTOMS to collect the items.
Could somebody tell me the procedure? Where is the customs? and what shall i provide the Qatar customs to collect my belongings?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.

The shipment Carrier/ origin is does matter. Just send it through USPS, you will get it in front of your doors...

@ Lucas & Adza, thank you guys. When i visit the qatar post central office and customs office, what shall be providing them to collect my package? Will i need to provide any AWB no?

Does any one of you guys have similar experience?

And do you know what are the working hours of customs/post office? And so they work on saturdays?

Really thanks a lot for your guidance and information.

i saw on the official website of qpost there is a list of names of people who has parcels to be collected. i believe its been updated everyday. you can check for your collection of parcel through the net once after it has been sent from the US.

also, you will not know when it has arrived, so track it until it leaves US, wait a couple of days then go to the post office. If uncollected after a month(i think) it could be sent back.

Try with Qatar Post Central Office near the Stadium on the Corniche. You will find a Customs Office there and very likely your package is also there.

@Rizks USPS stands for United States Postal Service
