Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about shipping from China to Dubai.

Do you ship from China to Dubai by sea and by air?
Yes. We offer both sea freight (LCL and FCL) and air freight on the China–Dubai route. Sea freight from major ports like Shanghai, Guangzhou (Nansha), Shenzhen (Yantian/Shekou) and Ningbo arrives at Jebel Ali Port. Air freight departs from major Chinese airports to Dubai International Airport.
Which Chinese cities do you ship from?
We coordinate cargo from major Chinese cities and trade hubs including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Yiwu and Beijing. For cargo originating from other Chinese locations, please contact us to confirm arrangements.
What is the difference between LCL and FCL shipping from China?
LCL (Less than Container Load) is a consolidated shipment where you pay only for the space your cargo occupies — suitable for smaller volumes. FCL (Full Container Load) means you hire an entire container, typically more cost-effective for large volumes. We advise on the best option based on your cargo volume and urgency.
Do you handle Dubai customs clearance for China imports?
Yes. Our licensed customs agents handle all UAE import clearance at Jebel Ali (sea) or Dubai Airport (air). We manage document submission, duty assessment and cargo release on your behalf.
Can you arrange door-to-door from China to my Dubai address?
Yes, door-to-door service is available on the China–Dubai route. We coordinate pickup from your Chinese supplier, freight movement, Dubai customs clearance and final delivery to your warehouse or business address in the UAE.
