Qatar Post and approved courier agents (DHL, FedEx, Aramex, UPS) clear inbound international post at the Hamad International Airport (DOH) air-cargo terminal. Items on the General Authority of Customs prohibition list (alcohol, pork products, gambling materials, religious materials offensive to Islam, anti-state publications) are seized without compensation; alcohol shipments via post are categorically destroyed regardless of declared status. Personal-import parcels under QAR 3,000 (≈USD 825) clear duty-free; above that threshold, 5% customs duty plus a flat clearance fee applies. Qatar has joined the Universal Postal Union's Electronic Advance Data (EAD) scheme; CN22/CN23 customs declarations are mandatory on all inbound mail.
