Air freight is the quickest option, taking 3–5 days to Dubai or Abu Dhabi airports. Emirates and China Eastern Airlines offer direct flights. For urgent small parcels, express couriers like DHL/UPS deliver in 3–5 days.
Sea freight rates start at $105 for a 20-foot container (18–25 days), while air freight averages $2.28–$10.50 per kg. Costs vary by route, cargo type, and season. LCL sea freight (shared container) is ideal for smaller shipments, costing $890+/cubic meter.
Mandatory documents include a commercial invoice, packing list, Bill of Lading/Air Waybill, and Certificate of Origin (Form E). Electronics may need CE certification, while food/medical goods require UAE Ministry of Health approval.
Partner with a freight forwarder for pre-clearance and accurate HS coding. Ensure compliance with UAE’s strict product safety standards (e.g., RoHS for electronics). Declare goods truthfully to avoid penalties.
A 5% import duty applies to most goods (excluding food/medical items), plus a 12% VAT on the CIF value (cost + insurance + freight). Luxury items like watches/jewelry may face higher duties (up to 30%).
Yes! LCL (Less-than-Container Load) services allow consolidation of goods from different suppliers, reducing per-unit costs. This is popular for e-commerce sellers using platforms like Amazon.ae.
Ports: Jebel Ali (Dubai), Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.
Airports: Dubai International (DWC) and Abu Dhabi International (AUH) handle most air freight.
Reputable forwarders provide real-time tracking via blockchain or GPS. For air freight, use IATA’s Cargo 2000 standards for end-to-end visibility.
Door-to-door services include China pickup, international transport, UAE customs clearance (DDP option available), and local delivery. This is ideal for e-commerce businesses needing seamless logistics to Dubai Marina or Abu Dhabi Free Zones.
Look for companies with Arabic-speaking agents in Dubai, 24/7 support, and experience in UAE customs. Check certifications (e.g., IATA for air freight) and specialized services like temperature-controlled shipping for pharma goods.
