From Saudi hubs: Dubai 1–2 days by road (Batha), Bahrain same-day (King Fahd Causeway), Qatar 1–2 days (Salwa), Kuwait 1–2 days, Muscat 2–3 days. VAT stays national per destination. The GCC customs union collects the common 5% tariff once at first entry; goods then move between member states without paying duty again.

This is what transit customs clearance looks like when it is run properly.
