Importing medical devices into Qatar: duty and VAT
Landed cost from the EU: about 4% collected at the border, about 4% real after credits (medium confidence, confirm with a customs broker). Duty about 4%, no import VAT or GST.
Landed cost from the US: about 4% collected at the border, about 4% real after credits (medium confidence, confirm with a customs broker). Duty about 4%, no import VAT or GST.

Medical device market in Qatar
Health spending: USD 4.8bn in 2023, USD 1,804 per person (World Bank).
Whole market (TAM), medical devices and IVD in all segments: about USD 150m to 480m a year (estimate, low confidence). TAM is all yearly spending on these devices in the market.
For one product line sold through distributors: SAM, the part of that spending distributors can reach, is about USD 11m to 56m a year. SOM, what a new maker with one good distributor could win a year after about three years, is about USD 160k to 1.4m (estimates). The free Market Finder sizes your own product range.
Broad scope, as in MedTech Europe figures: devices, diagnostics and consumables at manufacturer prices. Narrower published figures are lower.

Who holds the registration in Qatar
In the GCC a locally licensed importer or authorised representative must hold the device registration; a foreign manufacturer cannot hold it directly. If the distributor is also the registrant, it controls your market access. An independent local holder lets you appoint and replace distributors under it.
Who should hold the registration, and how a transfer works
This is the general rule, not legal advice. The registration clause in the first distributor contract decides who controls the market later. The Next 10 Markets report covers who holds the registration in each of your ten markets.
