I'm planning to bring an iPhone and a Samsung phone into Bahrain from South Korea. Are there any specific requirements or restrictions I should be aware of? For example:

Do the phones need to be unlocked?

Are there restrictions on certain models?

Do they need to be registered with local authorities or carriers?

Are there customs duties or additional steps involved for personal use?

Any guidance or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

As mentioned above, there are no issues, but it is important to verify the 5G bands as sometimes the phone modems are configured for specific country bands.
