Freight modes
Four ways an order leaves the warehouse
An injector goes by courier, a pallet of filters goes LCL, a stores restock goes in a container.
Mode 02
LCL sea freight
Consolidated weekly, export from Dubai
For pallets and part-loads. Packed onto export pallets and loaded on the weekly sailing to your port.
Mode 03
FCL sea freight
20 ft and 40 ft containers
For fleet restocking and volume buyers. Loaded, sealed and documented at our warehouse, with a carton-by-carton packing list.
Mode 04
Container consolidation
Multiple suppliers, one shipment
Orders from several suppliers checked and loaded into one container — one bill of lading, one clearance at your end.
Door-to-door is available on every mode. Where overland is faster — the near GCC — the quote says so.
Transit times
Indicative transit by region, from Dubai
For planning, not a promise. Sea is port to port, excluding destination customs; your quote carries the exact figure.
| Region | Air freight | Sea freight, port to port | LCL consolidation |
|---|---|---|---|
| GCC — Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain | 2–4 days | 3–7 days | Weekly |
| Wider Middle East — Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, Levant | 2–5 days | 5–10 days | Weekly |
| East Africa — Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Djibouti, Sudan | 2–5 days | 10–18 days | Weekly |
| West & Central Africa — Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroon | 3–6 days | 20–30 days | Fortnightly |
| South Asia — India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka | 2–5 days | 5–12 days | Weekly |
| Europe — Mediterranean and North-West ports | 3–6 days | 18–28 days | Weekly |
Stock confirmed before 14:00 GST dispatches the same day; supplier-held lines take 2–5 working days into Dubai; factory-order items get a firm date.
Documentation
What travels with the shipment
Invoice, packing list and certificate of origin as standard. Anything else, tell us at order stage.
- Commercial invoice — part numbers, quantities, values, incoterm and currency.
- Packing list — cartons, dimensions, weights, and which line is in which carton.
- Certificate of origin — for the consignment.
- Chamber attestation and embassy legalisation — on request, for markets that require it.
- HS codes — on the invoice where your broker needs them.
- Airway bill or bill of lading, and a pre-alert — sent as soon as the shipment is booked.
Packing
Export packing standards
Packed for the mode and the journey, and quoted with the freight.
- Each line in its own packaging with the part number visible.
- Palletised, strapped and shrink-wrapped for LCL and FCL, with labelled pallets.
- Heavy or awkward items — crankshafts, cylinder heads, radiators, glass — crated or braced.
- Machined surfaces protected against corrosion for sea transit.
- Fluids packed apart from filters, electrical parts and upholstery.
- Containers loaded heavy-low and braced; the stow is recorded on the packing list.
Dangerous goods
Airbags, batteries and other regulated items
Airbags, pretensioners, batteries, aerosols, paints and some fluids are dangerous goods in transit.
- Declared, classified, packed and marked to IATA (air) and IMDG (sea) rules.
- A dangerous goods declaration and, where required, a safety data sheet travel with the goods.
- Where a carrier or country refuses air carriage, the item goes by sea and the quote says so.
- Quoted separately from general cargo — own handling charge, own transit.
- Tell us at enquiry if a line is an airbag, battery or chemical.
Terms of sale
Incoterms we quote on
Name your term. No preference? We quote FOB and CIF so freight stays visible.
| Term | What it covers | Typically used by |
|---|---|---|
| EXW Jebel Ali | You collect, or your forwarder collects, from our warehouse. | Buyers with their own Dubai consolidator or a nominated forwarder already in the free zone. |
| FOB Jebel Ali | We export-clear the goods and deliver them on board or into the carrier’s terminal at Jebel Ali. | Importers buying on their own freight contract, which is most container traffic. |
| CIF destination port | Cost, insurance and freight to your named port of discharge. | Buyers who want one landed figure to the port and clear customs themselves. |
| DAP delivered address | Delivered to your address; import duty and clearance remain yours. | Door-to-door air freight, urgent line-down orders and workshop deliveries. |
- Insurance
- Arranged on request; included on CIF. On EXW and FOB the cover is yours from the named point.
- Currency
- Quoted and invoiced in AED or USD.
- Consolidation
- Orders can be held and shipped together; agreed at order confirmation.
- Minimum shipment
- No minimum on UAE stock lines. For export, whatever makes the freight sensible.
