Default 10Dhs tax on all phones coming into UAE?

So says Sheikh Mo

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Prime Minister, has issued a Cabinet resolution imposing a tax levy of Dh10 on each mobile phone imported for use in the UAE, the state news agency Wam reported.

It will go into effect within 60 days.
When it says imported for use, will that mean all phones at the airport, will it include tablets too?

I wonder when we can expect the U-Turn?

I think it means imported for sale via distributors not general visitors.

Any news on the Registration of the SIM Card? - Are there Taxes or Charges applicable to that too?
