The laws and regulations that govern foreign investment in the United Arab Emirates are largely conducive to foreign investment. Although important tariffs in the UAE stand at 5 percent, more than 75 percent of imports stillenter the country duty-free, and there are no tariffs on exports. Each Emirate has its own customs authority, while a national committee formulates general policies.
