Local Expertise

Dubai DXB / DWC + Jebel Ali Insider Knowledge

Dubai has unique advantages for Middle East distribution. Here's what makes this lane special:

DXB vs DWC Airports

DXB (Dubai International) handles passenger + cargo. DWC (Dubai World Central / Al Maktoum) is cargo-only, less congested. Emirates SkyCargo splits between both, so we route based on shipment urgency.

Free Zones Strategy (JAFZA)

Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority allows bonded storage with no UAE duty until cargo enters UAE customs territory. Perfect for clients consolidating before GCC distribution.

GCC Distribution Network

From Dubai, cross-border truck to Saudi Arabia (Riyadh 12hrs, Jeddah 28hrs), Kuwait (10hrs), Qatar (8hrs), Oman (4hrs). We coordinate the GCC customs paperwork for all 6 countries.

5% VAT (Refundable for B2B)

UAE introduced 5% VAT in 2018. B2B importers with TRN can reclaim. We provide tax-compliant invoices for VAT recovery, a small but meaningful detail.

Ramadan Operating Hours

During Ramadan, customs and warehouse hours are reduced 30–40%. Plan major shipments for non-Ramadan months. We notify clients of upcoming Ramadan dates in advance.
