The pricing for the ‘International Shopping Experience’ from Amazon covers shipping costs inclusive of import fees, with customs clearance managed by Amazon’s couriers.

The service is available in Arabic or English on both the Amazon shopping app and the Amazon.ae website.

Customers can pay using both local and international debit and credit cards, while customer support is also available in both Arabic and English.

Customers in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman sign in with their current account details on the Amazon app or visit Amazon.ae. Those using the app select ‘United Arab Emirates’ in settings, and customise their language preferences. The International Shopping Experience then automatically displays the available products and pricing and shipping information.

“We are always innovating on behalf of our customers, and with the launch of the ‘International Shopping’ experience, we are making shopping on Amazon.ae accessible to even more of them across the region,” said Ronaldo Mouchawar, vice-president of Amazon Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

“Customers have been asking us for a selection tailored to their location, and the International Shopping Experience solves this customer need and makes it simple to browse, shop, and ship thousands of products across the Gulf region.”
