Customs Clearance

Import, export, transit and re-export declarations filed correctly the first time.

Most freight delays are not transport failures. They are declaration failures: a wrong HS code, a missing permit from a regulator nobody thought applied, an invoice value the inspector will not accept, a certificate of origin that was never legalised.

Clearance is where a forwarder either saves you money or quietly costs it. We classify accurately, flag the permits before the cargo ships rather than after it lands, and file with Dubai Customs and the relevant free zone authorities.

What we handle

  • Import and export declarations

    Filed electronically against your customs code or ours.

  • HS classification

    Tariff codes chosen on the goods as they actually are, with duty rates confirmed before shipping.

  • Permits and approvals

    Coordination with the regulators that govern your commodity before it moves.

  • Free zone formalities

    Entry, exit, transfer and inventory-linked declarations for free zone stock.

  • Re-export and transit

    Duty-efficient handling for goods passing through the UAE rather than staying.

  • Duty and VAT guidance

    Practical treatment for your flow. Not a legal opinion, but a straight answer on what you will pay.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my own customs code to import?

To import into the UAE mainland in your own name, yes: a customs client code tied to your trade licence. If you do not have one, we can clear under our own registration or guide you through obtaining yours.

What happens if goods are classified incorrectly?

Under-declaration exposes you to reassessment, penalties and delay; over-declaration means you simply overpay duty and never find out. Both are avoidable with the specification sheet up front.
