Import, export, free zone and personal effects clearance — filed by a JAFZA-based team that handles the paperwork close to where your cargo actually sits, not from an office across the city.
Whether goods are entering UAE mainland or moving through Jebel Ali Free Zone, we handle the declaration, duty assessment, and inspection coordination so cargo isn't sitting idle on paperwork. Filed through Dubai Trade and Calogi, with document prep — commercial invoice, packing list, delivery advice — managed end to end.
We clear shipments entering through every major UAE gateway, coordinating directly with each emirate's customs authority rather than routing everything through one office:
Different commodities carry different compliance requirements. We handle:
ATA Carnet clearance for exhibition materials, professional equipment, and commercial samples entering the UAE temporarily without incurring full import duty — along with temporary import bonds for project cargo that will re-export after use.
At minimum: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and certificate of origin. Depending on the commodity, you may also need a health certificate, halal certificate, standards compliance certificate, or an import permit. We confirm the exact list for your specific cargo before it arrives, not after.
Standard cargo with complete documentation typically clears within the same working day to 24 hours once it arrives at port or airport. Cargo flagged for physical inspection, missing documents, or requiring a special permit takes longer — we flag likely delays before your shipment ships, not after it's stuck.
Yes — we're based inside JAFZA, so free zone clearance and bonded movement between the free zone and UAE mainland is a core part of our daily operation, not a service we outsource.
Yes. We clear shipments entering through Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, coordinating directly with the relevant port or airport customs authority for each emirate.
An ATA Carnet is a customs document that lets you temporarily import goods — commonly exhibition materials, professional equipment, or commercial samples — without paying duty, provided the goods leave the country again within the carnet's validity period. If you're bringing goods into the UAE for a trade show or demo and taking them back out, you likely need one.
Yes, with proper UN classification, MSDS documentation, and compliant packaging/labelling verified before the shipment moves. Dangerous goods clearance has stricter documentation requirements than standard cargo, so flag this at time of booking, not after arrival.
We coordinate directly with the inspecting customs officer, handle any unpacking or repacking required, and keep you updated on status — the goal is to resolve the inspection and release the cargo without it turning into a prolonged hold.
