Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to ship from China to UAE?
Current rates for shipping from China to UAE start at USD 5.44/KG via China Preferential Duty Paid. For 100 KG, the estimated total is approximately USD 544, with all duties paid under DDP. Final landed cost depends on the VAT 5%; standard customs duty 5% CIF (0% in free zones) applied by Federal Customs Authority (UAE).
What duties and taxes apply when importing into UAE?
Imports into UAE are assessed by Federal Customs Authority (UAE). The applicable regime is: VAT 5%; standard customs duty 5% CIF (0% in free zones). The duty-free / de-minimis position is AED 300. Under our DDP service these charges are pre-paid and included in the per-KG price, so there is nothing to settle on arrival.
What certifications are required to import into UAE?
For regulated goods entering UAE, plan for: ESMA / ECAS conformity for regulated electronics. Missing conformity paperwork is the most common cause of clearance holds with Federal Customs Authority (UAE), so confirm requirements for your HS code before the cargo leaves China.
When is the busy season for shipping to UAE?
Capacity to UAE tightens around Sep–Nov, on top of the China-side surcharge windows of Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb) and Golden Week (early Oct). Booking 1–2 weeks earlier during these windows protects both space and rate.
How long does shipping from China to UAE take?
Door-to-door transit to UAE: air freight 5–10 business days, sea LCL 30–50 days, sea FCL 28–45 days. On arrival, allow roughly 2–5 days of clearance/dwell at the gateway. All times include customs clearance under DDP.
Is air or sea freight better for 100 KG to UAE?
For 100 KG to UAE, air is usually better on total landed cost despite a higher per-KG rate, because the 30–45 day ocean transit (plus 2–5 days dwell) raises inventory cost. Air also unlocks volume discounts above 100 KG.
How is chargeable weight calculated for UAE shipments?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 100 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
Can I track my shipment from China to UAE?
Yes. Air shipments to UAE get an air waybill (AWB) trackable within 24 hours of departure; sea shipments are tracked by bill-of-lading through the carrier portal. We push status at key milestones: departure, arrival at the gateway, clearance by Federal Customs Authority (UAE), and final delivery.
