What is the need of a freight forwarder and what can they do for you?
Using a freight forwarder makes a big difference if you lack the time, expertise, or want to avoid the complexities of international shipping, such as documentation and cross-border transportation. Freight forwarders leverage business experience to reduce costs and provide solutions to transport challenges.
For imports from China to UAE, understanding customs regulations and shipping costs is vital. Dubai serves as a central business hub between Asia-Pacific and Europe. Our objective is to make importing products and services to the UAE from China easier and more convenient.
Air freight prices fluctuate based on market conditions. We provide efficient shipping solutions at competitive rates. When air freight is too costly but sea freight is too slow, multi-modal transport (combining air, sea, and ground transport) can be negotiated to find the best balance for your delivery needs.
Sea freight is the optimal choice for large loads (over 500kg or 2 CBM). You can choose between Full Container Load (FCL) or Less than Container Load (LCL) depending on your volume.
| Container Type | 20GP | 40GP | 40HQ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity (CBM) | 28 CBM | 58 CBM | 68 CBM |
| Best For | Heavy cargo (minerals, machinery) | Voluminous cargo (furniture) | Large volume cargo |
LCL allows importers to ship smaller amounts by combining cargo with others, charged based on volume (CBM).
Understanding these rules can save significant costs:
A) Actual Weight: If the physical weight is greater than the dimensional weight, the price is based on actual kilograms.
B) Dimensional Weight (Volume Weight): Calculated as (Length x Width x Height) / Divisor. If the package is bulky but light, you are charged based on the space it occupies.
International logistics involves complex steps: warehousing, documentation, customs, and insurance. An experienced partner is key to a smooth process. Our experts focus on transparency, accountability, and competitive pricing for shipments from China to UAE.
