Common Questions

What documents are required for shipping from Dubai?
Required documents typically include Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and Export Declaration. Specific cargo may require additional permits such as health certificates for food products or MSDS for chemicals. Our documentation team assists with all requirements for UAE exports.
Transit times vary by destination: UK ports (25-30 days), Rotterdam (20-25 days), Hamburg (22-28 days), and Mediterranean ports (15-20 days). We offer both FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) with regular weekly sailings from Jebel Ali Port.
 
Yes, we are a Dubai Customs approved clearing agent. We handle both import and export customs clearance, duty calculations, HS code classification, and ensure compliance with UAE Federal Customs Authority regulations at Jebel Ali Port and Dubai Airport.
 
FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire container exclusively for your cargo. LCL (Less than Container Load) is for smaller shipments sharing container space with other cargo. FCL is cost-effective for large volumes, while LCL is ideal for smaller shipments without waiting to fill a container.
 
We provide 24/7 real-time tracking via email updates, SMS notifications, and our online customer portal. You’ll receive tracking numbers for sea freight (container numbers), air cargo (AWB numbers), and land transport (vehicle GPS tracking) with proactive updates at key milestones.
