Does a Kuwaiti quotation need VAT?

No. Kuwait has no VAT, so quotations show net prices in KWD.

How long should a quotation be valid?

Fourteen to thirty days is typical; say it on the quotation so the buyer cannot rely on it later.

Can I quote in US dollars?

Yes, but most Kuwaiti buyers prefer dinars. Show the KWD figure if you quote in another currency.

Can I write the quotation in Arabic?

Yes. Arabic, English or both side by side.

Quoting for ministries and oil-sector buyers

Public bodies and oil-sector companies in Kuwait buy through registered vendors and compare several offers. A quotation that leaves out the validity date, delivery time or exclusions is usually sent back. Put these on the page from the start:

Your commercial registration number
The enquiry or RFQ reference you are answering
Unit prices and totals in KWD
Delivery time in days from the purchase order
What is excluded, such as civil works or permits

Protecting your margin on long approvals

Approvals in Kuwait can take weeks. State how long prices hold and what happens after; for imported materials, say which items follow exchange rates or metal prices. A short, clear validity clause avoids being held to a price after your own costs have changed.

From quotation to invoice without retyping

When the buyer accepts, open the quotation in DocMak and turn it into a delivery note or invoice. The client, lines and dinar amounts carry over, so the documents match the way Kuwaiti finance teams expect.
