When choosing a freight forwarder to handle your shipping to Dubai, you’ll need to make sure that they are able to offer all the services that you require. A reputable freight forwarder will be able to offer:
- All documentation required for shipping to Dubai;
- Pick up in the UK and delivery to port/airport;
- Sea or air freight to Dubai;
- Clearance at customs in Dubai (usually in conjunction with a partner agent based in Dubai);
- Delivery to door in Dubai.
When shipping to Dubai, it is important that the specific documents required are supplied upon arrival, to ensure the smooth transit of your goods. As an experienced freight forwarder this is something that Mercator is able to offer; we can arrange to have commercial goods certified.
Another important service to look for in a freight forwarder when shipping to Dubai is that they have a reliable and tested partner agent locally. Mercator Cargo has these contacts as a founding member of the global network of freight forwarders Marco Polo Line (MPL). MPL consists of small to medium independent freight forwarders across the globe, all with the same ethos as Mercator: the customer is king. All members of the network are vetted, so we know, and you know, that your cargo is in good hands. When arranging your shipment to Dubai, we will ask our partner agent out there to customs clear and deliver your goods to the door in Dubai (if you require these services).
There are weekly sailings from Tilbury and Southampton, transit time via sea is approximately 20 days. There are daily flights from the UK to Dubai airport, and these take a matter of hours.
