Taxidermy export from United Arab Emirates depends on the species — CITES-listed specimens need export permits; common non-protected species need provenance paperwork.

Practical advice

United Arab Emirates restricts import of Taxidermy. Cultural-property protection is bilateral: both origin export rules and destination import rules apply. Carry provenance documentation demonstrating lawful acquisition and (where applicable) origin-country export licence. Museum-loan and dealer-import categories operate under separate frameworks with pre-approved dealer registration.
