Hi! Thanks for the question.
It seems that you can bring in alcoholic beverages in Qatar only if
you are licensed to do it. Due to Islamic tradition, Qatar discourages
the importation of alcoholic beverages by imposing heavy custom
duties.
"Pork and derived products are prohibited, while the imports of
alcoholic beverages, firearms, ammunition and certain drugs are
subject to licensing. Import licenses may be obtained from the
Ministry of Finance, Economy and trade."
"Customs duties: the government maintains lists of goods subject to
higher taxes to protect local industries and of goods exempted from
duties. Steel imports are dutiable at 20 percent, those of alcohol and
tobacco vary between 30 and 50%".
The link for this information also provide descriptions of the
necessary documents for exporters and importers in Qatar.
