Buy in Denmark, Shipped to Bahrain
Your Danish purchase, sent on to Bahrain. New goods with a receipt, received in Copenhagen, checked, repacked and tracked to your ground floor.
In short
GIA ships brand-new furniture, lighting and design pieces bought from Danish shops to private buyers and companies in Bahrain, including from shops that will not ship there themselves. Your goods need their original packaging and a receipt. GIA receives or collects them in Copenhagen, inspects and repacks them, and ships them on, tracked on giaservice.dk. Bahrain VAT, customs duty and the clearance are paid by the receiver, and delivery is to the ground floor.

Importing your Danish purchase into Bahrain
Bahrain is part of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) customs union, which applies a common external customs tariff to goods from outside the GCC. Imports are also subject to Bahrain VAT at 10%, administered by the National Bureau for Revenue.
| VAT | 10% Bahrain VAT on imported goods. |
|---|---|
| Customs duty | The GCC common customs tariff applies to goods from outside the GCC. The general rate is 5% of the customs value; some goods have other rates. |
| Who pays | The receiver pays VAT, customs duty and the clearance. GIA prepares the export documents in Denmark, and the shop’s receipt serves as the commercial invoice. |
| Pallets | Shipments to Bahrain travel on heat treated, stamped Euro pallets. |
Delivery to the ground floor in Bahrain
The shipment is handed over at street level at your address, villa entrance or building lobby. Carrying the goods upstairs or into an apartment is arranged by the receiver.
Before you pay the Danish shop
- Ask for the receipt or invoice with the shop’s name, the items and the price. It travels with the goods as the commercial invoice.
- Keep the original packaging. Goods in the manufacturer’s box travel best and are easiest to check against the receipt.
- Tell the shop to deliver to GIA, or let us collect from the shop, so the goods are in one place before they are repacked.
- Check the measurements. Large furniture must fit through the door and the lift at your address in Bahrain.
Send us the shop’s name, the items and the delivery address in Bahrain in the form on this page, and you get a fixed price in writing before anything moves. We reply within 2 to 24 hours.
