Frequently asked questions
What does a freight forwarder in Dubai actually do?
A freight forwarder organises your shipment end to end: comparing carrier rates, booking vessel or flight space, preparing documents, clearing UAE customs, and arranging delivery. You get one fixed quotation and one point of responsibility instead of coordinating shipping lines, brokers, and truckers yourself.
Which services does Mar Shipping provide?
Sea freight (FCL and LCL consolidation), air freight via DXB and DWC, road freight across the GCC, customs clearance at Dubai ports and airports, and warehousing including free-zone and bonded storage options — quoted individually or as one door-to-door package.
How much does shipping to Dubai cost?
It depends on mode and volume. As of August 2026, indicative market rates from China to Jebel Ali are roughly USD 1,400–2,200 for a 20ft container, USD 50–70 per CBM for LCL, and USD 3–6 per kg for general air cargo. Add 5% customs duty and 5% VAT on the CIF value for imports. Send your packing list for a fixed, itemised quote.
How long does customs clearance take in Dubai?
Standard clearances at Jebel Ali and Dubai's airports complete within 24–48 hours of arrival when documents are in order. A red-channel inspection can add 1–3 working days, which is why we pre-check documentation before your cargo arrives.
Do you handle both commercial cargo and personal shipments?
Our focus is commercial cargo — imports, exports, and re-exports for trading, manufacturing, and e-commerce businesses. We also handle project-based and oversized shipments; contact us with the details and we will confirm the right solution.
How do I get a quote?
Use the quote form on this page — three short steps covering route, cargo and contact details — or email us directly. With a packing list and origin/destination we normally return an itemised quotation within a few working hours during business hours.
