Twelve countries, one office in Dubai.

Most of what we ship leaves Jebel Ali for Djibouti, Berbera, Mogadishu, Mombasa or Dar es Salaam, then continues by road. Cargo for the Republic of Congo goes round to Pointe-Noire on the Atlantic coast. The times below are typical door-to-door. Your quote gets a real date.

Times assume goods are in stock in Dubai. Customs clearance at destination can add days, and we'll tell you when it's likely to.

How it moves
SEA

Jebel Ali → East African ports

Weekly sailings to Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, regular calls at Djibouti, Berbera and Mogadishu, and West African services to Pointe-Noire. Full containers or a share of one.

ROAD

Port → your door

Trucks along the Northern and Central Corridors, the Djibouti–Addis road and the TAZARA corridor to Zambia, with bonded transit where it applies.

AIR

When it can't wait

Urgent spares and small parcels by air freight from Dubai, usually within a week.

Documents

The papers travel with the goods.

Most delays at the border come from a missing certificate, not a slow truck. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and certificate of origin for every shipment.

Where your country asks for more, such as pre-export verification of conformity in Kenya or Uganda, or import permits for food, we arrange it before the goods leave Dubai.

Shipping somewhere not on this list?

We can often reach neighbouring countries on the same routes. Ask and we'll check.
