Questions we are often asked
What documents are needed for import clearance?
Normally the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, certificate of origin and any permits the product requires. We confirm the set for your cargo.
How long can transit goods stay in Dubai?
Under Dubai Customs Notice 05/2026, transit goods have up to 90 days to reach the exit point instead of 30, as a temporary measure. More time needs Dubai Customs approval. We confirm the current rule before you book.
Can you tell me if my product needs a permit?
We can check the usual requirements for the product and route and tell you which authority to approach. Final approval rests with that authority.
Do you pay duties for me?
Where agreed, yes, and they are shown on the invoice as amounts paid on your behalf.
Do free-zone goods pay duty?
Goods stored in a free zone are generally outside the customs territory. Duty applies when they enter the mainland for local use.
Can you transfer goods between different free zones?
Yes, with the declarations each zone requires.
