An alternative is to set up a S.L.U - But you need to have an official paid up administrator "on the pay roll". there are naturally companies who will do this for you.

The tax system for S.L. is different. May or may not benefit your needs. The Embassy must have a trade officer.

Be prepared for highish import tarrifs btw. I dont know where UAE is on the list - but have heard of 10% for some countries. Depending on how the UAE supplier has to declare EXPORTS you can of course try to get an undervalued shipping docket done.

Plus VAT commitments of course.

You may also hit issues if you use your residence as a store room. Depends VERY MUCH on what you'll import/store.
